OpenOSX(TM), formed in June 2001, is a company dedicated to serving, and expanding, the Macintosh community.

Founded on the premise that many computer users are intimidated by the UNIX commandline, OpenOSX committed itself to one mission- bringing popular Unix software to both the "Unix-challenged" and the seasoned, Mac inclined system administrator in a friendly, Macintosh environment. Early success in that initial mission has spawned a second premise, (as well as a far reaching, secondary mission): The opportunity to introduce the more traditional Unix community to the new power, and ease of use of the Macintosh, now available to them in Mac OS X.

OpenOSX's growing product line reflects a growing utilization of the BSD layer, which Mac OS X is built upon. In particular, with the BSD compatibility, comes the nearly infinite potential to utilize the continuously expanding universe of software available in the open source community.

OpenOSX is a creation inspired by Apple's profound vision and purpose. OpenOSX is to "Software Applications" as Mac OS X is to "Operating Systems". We strive to make the most complex "UNIX/Linux" installations of open source software as simple and easy as possible: by simply double-clicking a Package icon.
