To be fair, it is somewhat BSD based.

@drRoss Hmm?

mac os x is a certified unix, that makes it unix, not unix like

I can't talk about anything at home.

@Qchmqs unfortunately they ripped out the UNIX soul long ago. Digged around in a macOS a month ago since I had to use one until my new Thinkpad arrived. Tbat gave a chance to check it's 'unixness'. I would go as far as saying that the UNIX remainders are barely facades. Not even the man pages are correct. The only thing that still is UNIX-like are most of the syscalls. That's why native Mac apps are the easiest to port over to FreeBSD. Almost everything else was replaced over the years.

I too like Apple, macOS is a great Unix system *and* user friendly!
