I'm sure you knew this already, but OS X is directly positioned at the average Joe. I think it succeeds as a desktop Unix because it hides the underpinnings for people who don't care about Unix, but for someone like me who wants to pull up tcsh when I can, the Terminal is a click away. Otherwise, of course my Macs run NetBSD. :) -- ---------------------------------- personal: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Floodgap Systems Ltd * So.
