Mac OS X Unix or Linux ?

It is an interesting point. Apple Mac computers now use Max OS X for a number of years. The Mac OS X operating system was a radical departure from previous versions of the Macintosh GUI OS. It started with OS 5 and worked its way up to OS 9. If older pre Mac OS X programs are used on a newer Mac ( OS 10) the system works in an emulation mode . That is it runs in the older pre OS 10 Mac OS.

Mac OS 10 is primarily UNIX , rock solid with a Graphics User Interface – GUI. Linux in turn is based on this initial very powerful , very solid computer operating system. Linux is Unix for the Mac.

Macs previously used Motorola based chip sets and processors. Macs now are Intel based – that is they use standard PC type components.

The question that begs then is why bother with the flavors of Linux and not simply use the Mac current OS X based computers.

This is a very good question and should merit introspection and focus by novice computer ( or beginner Linux users ) wanted to learn the Linux or Unix based computer operating systems either for its power and features or as option to the mainstream Microsoft windows and vista systems.
