How do I get Darwin?

Darwin is free and available for a broad variety of operating systems and can be downloaded at this place.

In an effort to connect Darwin users together, we have a Darwin Listserver. Sign up and you will be placed on the Darwin mailing list. It's a public mailing list which means you can post questions/angry comments/solutions to problems by mailing to Darwinlist@inf.ethz.ch.
