I was perusing slashdot and come upon the following article: http://zdnet.com.com/2100-1107-832650.html
The article is an interesting one and it is about Apple's Mac OS X. Apparently OS X runs UNIX at it's core but the article aslo claims that OS X is a real UNIX OS. Is anyone out there running Mac OS X? If so can you redirect your UNIX displays back to your Mac without 3rd party software? Can you mount drives? And is there an honest-to-goodness command line interface in OS X? Could Mac OS X be good enough as a UNIX machine to replace a Linux desktop? I haven't used a Mac in a LONG time but if they want to run UNIX on their desktop and not just at the core of the OS then I may have to seriously consider getting my hands on a Mac. I've heard about Yellow Dog Linux which can run on Mac hardware but I'm curious to hear how OS X compares to the more popular Linux distributions. Somehow I've it stuck in my head that Apple would never migrate Macs to be a genuine UNIX desktop workstation. I know they have had the rements of NeXT at their core for a long time but I've never been able to agree with the overall Mac vision (outside of it NOT being MS). Greg
