i dont think it can qualify as real unix(not that linux does either) i think it just uses a BSD kernel and cross breed between NeXT and macos technology, i dont think it uses X as it's display system. it is very unix like though. can run most unix apps. calling Mac OS X unix would be kinda like calling BeOS unix since it has unix commands and can compile stuff too.. my 0.02 nate ----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Vice President Network Operations http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336 http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By: http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMP http://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- 1:45pm up 187 days, 2:05, 1 user, load average: 1.10, 1.07, 1.01
