OSX is *NOT* Linux.. it's based on Darwin (BSD derivative with a micro-kernel 
core) ... Also, the biggest issue is that the mac processors (outside of the 
new intel/x86 version of OSX for developers) use a big-endian byte order, 
which isn't so bad for execution, but really difficult with regards to 
handling files/configurations...  This also takes a lot of testing.. afaik 
Deuce is working on the BigEndian support... iirc it probably won't be 
complete/working until version 4 gets going...
