Linux is some times, at best, maybe slightly similar to UNIX in some ways, but definitely in essence it is NOT UNIX nor BSD at all. As Bill said, BSD IS NOT linux, it’s UNIX!

BSD is *essentially* UNIX. But Linux is also **essentially** Unix (at least at the level of detail most of this site's visitors are interested in). By the transitive property, BSD is essentially Linux. If anyone really cares to learn all the differences they can check google -- there are plenty of people arguing about it. alright, sure.

I just recently got my Macbook too...one week now since I've got it. I kinda agree that there are aspects that are better in Windows but I've actually adapted to my Mac much quicker than I thought I would. Thanks for showing some tricks and shortcuts to my Macbook.

I'm a die-hard Microsoft man - I run a team of Microsoft-platform developers and a team of Microsoft Network Administrators - and even a Microsoft Accounting system... and an absolute pro on every M$ operating system ever released... but decided a Mac would be fun to play with, and with the excuse of playing with iPhone development, bought a MacBook Pro. I "force" myself to use it all the time at home, but some of the simple things like page up/down and home/end were starting to annoy me. Also, I wish there was better info about the double-finger scroll - that's handy. It'd be really cool if someone kept this going with all the differences in an easy reference - I live by shortcuts (Windows-R for the run window, then "iexplore www.yahoo.com" to get to web pages... CTRL-N for a new page... etc., so I don't mind learning - just need some usable reference. Either way, I'm already a little closer to some of the basic necessities!
