yes, i love osx's unix underpinnings (i was a unix sys admin as a grad student in the 80's and know it pretty darn well.) the operating system seems very reliable and i like that.
from www.amazon.com
i come from a predominantly linux background (with windows reluctantly mixed in when forced upon me), so i'm happy to know that this is got bsd under the hood, along with access to bash shells, x11
from www.amazon.com
we are both computer engineers with only windows & linux based x86 platform experience.
from www.amazon.com

from www.amazon.com
