Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Looking to install Unix on my Mac Post 302148730 by dnbphysicist on Monday 3rd of December 2007 12:09:05 PM

I am just curious, do you know that the Mac Operating System's kernel is based on Unix? It is Free BSD, and you can use almost all the same commands you would on a normal *nix box. All you have to do is open the Terminal (just like you would on a *nix box) and you can browse the file system, perform root user tasks and even program in the shells. Granted the GUI is different, but it would be a great way to get started.
