i tried the beta and looked at the final.  if you want a *nix system
OSX isn't it.  

basically don't beleive all the rubbish on slashdot where everyone
thinks OSX is just FreeBSD + better GUI on a powerpc.  its not.  the
unix layer is crippled and broken, and the GUI isn't any better then
gnome or KDE IMO.  (it may have better eye candy but thats different)
