Your claim that FreeBSD's kernel is Mach is prima facie absurd. As any googlist will tell you, the FreeBSD kernel was written in Berkeley by the homsexualists McKusick, Bostic, Karels and Quarterman. Mach was developed a thousand miles away in Carnegie Mellon's National Center for Supercomputing Applications. The only connection between the two camps is Eric Allman, Kirk McKusick's wife. Eric wrote Sendmail while he was a student at NCSA.
