OK Bryan be picky.... I should have said UNIX then. The only reason Mac went BSD is because of the licensing issues between Linux and BSD. There is even a ditro that can run the Mac GUI on Linux so there differences are not so great.

A friend who is a Mac (Which is just Linux) Actually no it's not Jim. Not really even close. The heart of Mac OSX, the Darwin core, is based on *BSD (NetBSD IIRC) not GNU/Linux. The similarity between GNU/Linux and *BSD is that they are UNIX clones. But they ain't the same. -- Bryan Carbonnell - carbonnb at gmail.com Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "What a great ride!" -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
