I have been using UNIX for like 14 years and have to say that Mac OS X has actually brought me "back in" to the BSD fold (I used SunOS when it was mostly BSD). I am now running FreeBSD on some x86 servers and I have any number of Terminals running in OS X all the time. I can attest that it is a fully-functional BSD shell. Anyway, I do agree that touching as many UNIX variants as you can is a good thing. Then, you can judge for yourself which one is your "favorite" flavor. I have touched tons of UNIX variants in my time. I have four favorites now three of which are BSD (one is FreeBSD, one is Mac OS X, the other is OpenBSD), and one being a commercial flavor from the major UNIX company left. Even though I do run Linux, I can't say that it is one of my favorites. All I have to say is that I haven't had this much fun with UNIX in a long time. Good luck. -john To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
