Me too and it's all the problem : i don't want GUI at all... The Linux 
issues of my Rev apps servers are running lots faster than the Cocoa 
GUI binded ones and i suspect that they would be able to run lots 
faster under the Darwin platform too in the unix deamon mode. If that 
can be done, i will just switch back to linux, in about server-side 
stuffs...

Never tested Darwin for yet but, as you say, it's a good time to see if 
this solution would work.

Many thanks for your helpfull input :-)
