MacOSX and Unix
While I'm completely new to Unix, I've read quite a bit on Mac's new OSX and it's relation to Unix. OSX is an evolutionary modification of the FreeBSD kernel complete with a very fast and fluid GUI using Adobe's Portable Document Format for it's screen preview. Apple calls this propietary modification of FreeBSD "Darwin." Knowing very little about the functionality of Unix and based solely on what I've read, Mac OSX is 100% Unix-based. OSX comes with it's own command-line terminal for programming or accessing core elements of the OS. It also fully supports Java development and ships with one entire disk dedicated to Application Development Tools (primarily using Java as well as tools to build OSX applications with the Aqua interface. There are two types of apps on OSX, Carbon and Cocoa.
