Operating Systems > Linux and UNIX

Mac OS X does not belong in here

hm_murdock:
it doesn't. nobody seems to understand that it's not UNIX at all.

Come on guys, learn things

Stryker:
I think if someone has a question more related to unix like stuff and not things that are so mac specific, that this would be an appropriate place to ask. I never visit the mac section, but I visit this one. If someone has a general unix question I can probably help them (if i'm not being lazy), and I dont think I'm the only linux user that doesn't visit the mac section. If a mac user has a question about bash, this would be an good place to ask it.

suselinux:
How is OSX not Unix?

That's like saying GNU with a Linux kernel isn't Linux

Sorry Jimmy as much as you hate Linux it dosen't make OSX any less

HAHAHH! Priceless  :D !

Calum:
actually it's more like saying a HURD system with GNU and other open source software is not linux, which technically it isn't, but you wouldn't know that depending on how it was set up and what you were doing.

basically, this forum has always been about any *ix type system, and macOSX is obviously included in that, as much as Darwin, 386BSD et cetera are. however since there's a MacOS section, and most OSX users are former MacOS* users anyway, most stuff goes in there anyway, so why worry?

[iif[/i] somebody has an OSX question that they feel is general *ix rather than mac  specific then why not have it in here? like running X in OSX for example (although  i suppose that could be applications section stuff) but after a point, splitting hairs is a waste of effort.
