Mac OS X does not have any part of the Linux kernel. While Mac OS X is UNIX and Linux is Unix-like, Mac OS X is still completely separate from Linux.

Linux don`t need an extensive hardware…

Well, I`m a Mac user (writing from a MacBook), using OS X… But I believe soon Linux and Android (I`m also an iPhone user) will get so good as Apple products OS X and iOS. I hope

Gnome or KDE make any kernel savings irrelevant really for my older machines and other than that what noticeable difference would you get with any newer computer. So for me it would boil down to server optimization: time & effort to tune versus time to serve requests to clients using (z) servers. I think you’ve got to be Google or alike to see real benefits. I suspect that you may be able to save significant resources with respect to IaaS environments.

Dumping all of the unnecessary parts & optimizing for the hardware it is on has distinct benefits on old machines.
