Tom,
isn't OS X really a *nix os under the hood?

Yes, it's FreeBSD with a pretty but proprietary GUI called Aqua on top.

I don't keep up on these things, but I was under the impression, somewhat, that it is Unix under the hood. Some proprietary parts of Unix, rather than just freeBSD. I am aware that the aqua is proprietary. Is that all it really is .. freeBSD with Aqua GUI?
If so, then what a rip!

OS X has a nice Unix veneer, but http://www.spikelab.org/blog/osx-is-not-unix.html(I heard their init system uses XML, lol!) Also, it's not really FreeBSD underneath cuz they use a different kernel altogether. |

A person who had administrated a fairly representative array of Unix systems before would probably be lost if he switched to OS X.
That is why I consider OS X not to be Unix.

Yeah. It's POSIX compliant too, right?

I'm not saying that OS X is Unix. I'm just saying it's "officially" certified as Unix. [...] OS X doesn't seem like Unix to me.
Maybe it's a distro that's lost its way ? |
