I have to know... I keep seeing that Mac OS X is unix based or something? Don't know anything about Macs, and not much about Linux or Unix. I have never had good luck, "mainly due to a lack of patience" with Linux.

Now I am starting to wonder though... if this whole Mac OS X thing is unix based, then does all the Unix/Linux based stumbling tools and what not work on it?

Just wondering where the line is between it being a Mac or a Unix/Linux machine?

I don't see much stumbling stuff for Mac's, and I really don't want a Mac. I do want to get a nice Linux machine working one day and use all the great tools out there for it. If this is basically a Mac GUI on top of a Unix os then I might be kind of interested in it.

Any ideas ?
