Mac OS X does not belong in here

Obviously you're quoting the wrong person, because BeOS ISN'T based on UNIX. It is equally or more powerful than UNIX and POSIX compliant, but is neither based on System V or BSD, nor is it a clone of any of them.

quote: The Terminal is not Unix. Unix is an operating system, and BeOS is an operating system, but BeOS is not a Unix-based operating system. BeOS is, however, POSIX-compliant, just like Unix.

quote: While it's a new design, it does owe much to UNIX/Mach in some of the design decisions we made. If you're interested in some of the deeper details, check out the XINU (that's "Unix" spelled backwards, which cries out for a joke here...) book listed in The Be Bookstore:

The designers of the BeOS were deeply inspired by the design of the XINU operating system.

Inspired by Xinu eh. GNU was "inspired" by Unix as well, but we are all more than happy to call that OS Unix Based.....
hm_murdock:
but it's not. Linux is Linux-based, since Linux is the kernel. Unix clone... that's the term.
only one problem... like I said, I think OS X has quite a few uniquely individual things.

No. It doesn't. Mac OS X apps will not run on any other OS. They cannot provide the needed support. Mac OS X native apps use the Cocoa API, built from the classic NeXTStep/YellowBox API.
These APIs are built on Objective-C and are not compatible with the classic UNIX API. Mac OS X apps are not POSIX apps in the least. They take advantage of high-level structures provided by the OS.
but it's okay, I know your horrible secret that you've been hiding from us, suselinux. I'm going to EXPOSE YOU FOR THE CHARLATAN YOU ARE!!
YOU ARE POWERLESS TO STOP HIM, FOR HE IS NIGH INVULNERABLE!! WHEN HE IS THROUGH WITH YOU, THERE WILL BE NARY A SOLDIER STANDING!
Just admit it! Captain Evil attacks nearly all of us nightly. He's a busy man for an evil mastermind super villain. Shit, dude... HE'S ATTACKING ME RIGHT NOW!

Yeah, and Microsoft was 'inspired' by VMS when they developped Windows NT, so Windows must be a VMS operating system.
