which version of BSD
I've noticed there are different versions of BSD, unless I'm confused. How can I tell what version of BSD is on my Mac -- free, open,or what? I think I read somewhere that Mac OSX is Darwin, and is that a different version that the others?

Code:
uname -a

will given you the version - you will have to find out if it is: OSX, leopard, etc. based on the version numbers.

Here's what the answer was after typing uname -a:

Darwin 9.6.0 Darwin Kernel Version 9.6.0: root:xnu-1228.9.59~1/RELEASE_I386 i386

I'm still learning about this, so can you explain things to me if possible? And do you know if there's a book specifically about Darwin?
