All I meant, originally, by poking fun at OSX as a "unix" was this:
People go around saying OSX is Unix because it runs a Netbsd kernel. When you're a unix or linux admin, new to OSX, people assume, "Well, it's a unix. You must already know how to use it, at least to the level that all unixes have in common." But this is way false. Your past knowledge of other unixes will help you just as much as your past knowledge of windows systems, when it comes to OSX. In my opinion, running the netbsd kernel doesn't make OSX much more unix-like, than running the VMS kernel makes Windows NT vms-like. They're wholly separate beasts, with almost no connection to the platform from whence it originally derived. _______________________________________________ bblisa mailing list [email protected] http://www.bblisa.org/mailman/listinfo/bblisa
