The +puredarwin variant also applies to the Apple OS releases
darwin8 and darwin7 etc, in addition to PureDarwin's darwin9.
See "Binary" at http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/

Technically it currently reads "Darwin, without Carbon/Cocoa".
Usually implies using X11 instead, for the graphic interface.
But for most people it is easier to just use FreeBSD instead :-)
