Hello everyone!
Alright, from what I've gathered, it's an official open source clone of 
MacOS X for x86...  Am I right?  If not, what is it?  How can I download 
it?  Thanks! ;)

Nope.

It is basically an externally hosted project that mirrors and extends  
Apple's Darwin OS (and related open source projects). Darwin OS is  
basically the kernel and POSIX user-land, in other words a subset of  
what makes Mac OS X well... Mac OS X.
