Inside Mac OS X's Unix Layer Behind the Candy-Coated Shell, Mac OS X Provides All the Power of Unix with Very Few Compromises By Greg Knauss macworld.zdnet.com You know there's revolution in the air when the following can be typed into an operating system built in Cupertino and execute flawlessly: dig @138.195.138.195 goret.org. axfr \| grep '^c....A' \| sort \| cut -b5-36 \| perl -e 'while(<>){print pack("H32",$_)}' \| gzip -d Put that in your GUI and smoke it.* Most users, of course, will never come in contact with the bare metal of the underlying Unix layer in Mac OS X. Most programmers won't even come in contact with it. Mac OS X has all the now-familiar strengths of a high-end, modern operating system: true multitasking, true memory protection, symmetric multi-processing . But also waiting beneath the surface are hundreds of obscure, handy command-line utilities and Internet-based services that Unix programmers have come to expect. Thanks to slashdot.org UNIX ... it's the real thing. Mac OS X ... smokin' Microsoft ... we're f@#%ed.
