Apple, no problems at all,  ever.   Jerry


Thanks Jerry.
I would not really expect it to be so since Apple is running
Linux underneath OS-X.

   More likely MAC O/S-X is UNIX based.

Yes BSD I think. The API is roughly the same as Linux and the
source code on the OS is available which makes all the difference.
I don't know all the details but the two OS's are near identical
as far as I know.

------------------

BSD is quite different to Linux it is not a modular OS like Linux
It is a UNIX OS not a POSIX OS. We have on occasion used both, I peronally
prefer Linux however some things work better on BSD.
