IIRC Mac's are on a BSD kernel....So is that what Mac is underneath?

Ok, I too grew up with C and Unix. One of those big auto parts stores to be exact. I'm in when I can find the time.

My 2 bits. I am a linux and Mac user currently forced into retirement by the economy. My first unix experience was V7 long ago and I have passing acquaintance with a bunch of others in the interim. In addition to using linux as my desktop, I embedded it in instruments. I have never run Windows as a desktop but am forced to use it with VMware, VirtualPC, Parallels, etc on top of unix to tune. I would love to dispense with the VM.

I am rather surprised at the number of, if not *nix heads, people with passing familiarity here.

I was running WinXP on VMware Fusion... then I installed it natively using boot camp and I like this much better.

Yeah, I'm a *nix head... I compile linux kernels from the development kernel git tree just about every week; I'm one of the developers for the qla2xxx fibre channel boards/chips (lol... my code has made it on the linux kernel tree...)... I used Version 7 a few lifetimes ago.

Wow , like this , no I am not a coder .http://porno-bullen.de/~bluebird/ini...xxx/readme.txt
Kernel compile , haven't done that in years (first learned with SuSE) , ah the good old days .
