I don't mean to cut this discussion off, but you could have found the answer to your very basic questions using Google and searching the net for 10 minutes.
These forums are not for homework problems or holding hands of students too lazy to do their own research.
There is no reason to come here and ask a question that is so basic, that only one Google search and you would know that OS X is based on BSD.
In fact, I don't think the question 'What is the difference between UNIX and Linux?" is so difficult. Anyone with Google and can search and do a bit of research and write a very nice response.
So my reply is simple.
Don't come here and ask people to do your simple research for you. Show some self-motivation and do research (your own work) before posting in forums asking questions you can easily answer with Google and a few minutes of focused analysis.
I appologize, I did google the question, wikipedia the question and many others and got so many different answers that it confused me and thought that this would be a place to get a strait forward answer! Clearly this forum must not be for newbies as it states, I'll take my questions else where from now on! Maybey you should consider removing the "Dummies" section if you don't want to answer basic questions!
