1. Unix For Mac Os X Users With Kevin Skoglund And Associates

Mac OS X (Ten) has been out in production for about 4 months, so Apple says. Here is a link to a post that will have more pointers to Apple pages and Apple analysis:<P>

Basically, OS X is a evolutionary kernel from the MACH and BSD linage. According to Apple, they plan to migrate all apps to this kernel, over time. Earlier kernel (OS 9) non-UNIX runs as well, but it is not yet clear to me if the OS9 kernel space is a UNIX process or partitioned closer to the CPU. When I run a PS command in the OSX environment, I do not see any OS9 processes (even when I have OS9 processes on the desktop).
To be honest, I don't have time to fully study this as of yet; but plan to! If someone else has the time to read about OSX, please do so and give us a tech summary, thanks Here is a link to the <A HREF=http://developer.apple.com/macosx/>MAC OS X Developer Site</A><P>
Here is the: <A HREF=http://www.opensource.apple.com/ps-faq.html>DARWIN and Apple Open Source FAQ</A>. <P>
Also, here is a link to <A HREF=http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/macosx/macosx.html>The Apple OS X Developers Documentation</A> with tons of information.

You'll see some helpful examples of commands, options, and arguments to help you better understand the lesson. This video is from Unix for Mac OS X Users from lynda.com. Visit the course details page for more information about the course.
2. Some say that Mac OS X has a FreeBSD kernel, with all the utilities above that makes it an OS being Mac specific. (Not speaking about user apps here, only all of the init, ls, cd, and others. Binutils?) Others say Mac OS X is a Darwin kernel, that is pure Mac, and that the OS utilities come from BSD. Where's the truth?

In this video, web developer Kevin Skoglund gives you a history and overview of Unix. This will give you an idea of how Unix came to be what it is today. Towards the end of the video, he also explains the general idea of when you might want to use Unix directly instead of a graphical user interface (GUI).
