Wikipedia.  Look up OpenDarwin.  Last remaining ISO for 7.2.

Or, you could download darwin 7 or 8 ISOs at Apple's site.  The source for Darwin 8.1 and higher is also available.

Both totally legit and free.

There is a binary release of Darwin 8.01 that installs & works fine.
Before the downfall of opendarwin, there was an update script that took it to 8.1, but I can't find that any more..
any solution for updating the 8.01 install would be useful, I have been unable to find anything of the sort.

see what i want is to run opendarwin and see how it works

try gnu/darwin perhaps? it's a bit old now, but includes X11 etc... http://www.gnu-darwin.org/

I guess if you have the time, you can always build the latest Darwin release from Apple.

Does anything built off darwin come close to OS X in like the dock or interface. maybe even the file support, is there even such think like a open OS X?

[Metuas]

Darwin has no interface by default, you'd have to get one like GNOME or KDE, with MacPorts
