I don't like linux, BSD is much better.

See, you sound like you know what you're talking about. I remember talking to one guy over AIM... I was trying to help him w/ something in apache. The conversation went something like this:

me: "Is this running on a linux system?"
him: "No, it's freebsd"
me: "Why'd you choose freebsd?"
him: "FreeBSD is real UNIX, and that makes it a better server"
me: "ok... anyway, where did you put somefile.ext?"
him: "I'm not sure..."
me: "Search for it."
him: "how would I do that?"
me: "Just do it in the GUI, w/ whatever find util BSD has"
him: "I didn't install a GUI. A real server doesn't need a GUI"
me: "OK, then just use find"
him: "how do I do that? What's find?"


His attitude was not "I'm a newbie, and I need help", but "I'm so l33t, I run BSD, so of course I know what I'm doing". Thing is, he had no clue what was going on... People like him are the ones that bug me.

there's idiots everywhere... bsd is no exception. plus, the majority of "visible" bsd users are the ones on irc, slashdot, forums like this, etc, and those tend to be the less experienced ones. the real smarties live on mailing lists

and usenet...

Reminds me of the time I told somebody in IRC to "man fsck" - that made the title for the channel for the next few weeks.

I still use windows XP for a workstation OS.
Firewall/router: freebsd
Web dev box:freebsd, apache 1.3
webserver: freebsd, apache 2.03

OK, I'm a little biased

Ok, then OS X is built on parts of Unix... Sure, you can disassemble the OS into parts and claim that most systems are built on it...

Still, the correct answer is that OS X is built on Darwin... And just like Redhat or mandrake or slackware is based on the same foundation, if i were to create a solution based on Red Hat, you could still claim it was based on slackware... as all are based on the same base-package...

But you would still be wrong...

Of course it still looks like NeXT to me, right down to the spinning wheel.
In fact when I set my OS X box next to my NeXT color turbo station, I can't really tell all that much difference.
Gotta love that netinfo....
