I still do care very much (and in fact, I've been meaning
to provide some of the answers on this mailing list, but
apparently one can't upgrade to Snow Leopard over the
net so I have to physically drive to the Mac store :-().

Anyway, for a non Mac person, can somebody please clarify
whether macosforge.org has the very same bits that go into
the Mac OS itself, or do I still have to get the real thing?

Thanks,
Roman.
