Apple has made available the source code to Darwin 9.0.  Check it out here:

[Software Updater]

Now how do I install it as an OS. Everytime I have tried darwin it wont install let alone boot.

Well, it used to be easier to install (not that I had ever done it), but now that the OpenDarwin project is shut down, I don't know if anyone else picked it up.

Looks like OpenDarwin has been wiped off the face of the planet. Can't even find a torrent.

Oh and you can download Darwin 9.0 CD images for PowerPC and x86 from the Apple Open Source site.

Whoops! Its just Darwin 6.0.2 that you can download, not 9.0. MY MISTAKE. Sorry for the confusion.

EDIT: You can't download Darwin 9 (core of 10.5) yet but you can download a CD installer image of Darwin 8.0.1 (core of 10.4).
