i dont think it can qualify as real unix(not that linux does either) i
think it just uses a BSD kernel and cross breed between NeXT and macos
technology, i dont think it uses X as it's display system. it is very
unix like though. can run most unix apps.
calling Mac OS X unix would be kinda like calling BeOS unix since it has
unix commands and can compile stuff too..
