I notice when when I look at boxes for new hardware (& some software) it often says it will run a PC or MAC with rarely a mention of Linux. I presume that means under M$ systems for the PC. For the MAC, I understand the standard operating system is bases on Unix (or Linux). Does this imply that if it runs for a MAC, it will also run on a Linux PC?
mac os x is based on darwin [1] and this has nothing to with linux - except that is a *nix-like. so, even if it is mentioned that certain hardware works under linux or windows, this does NOT mean that it works with mac or vice versa.
