I think it's a great operating system. Heck, the reason I even went Mac OS X was because of its BSD foundation. I still think that FreeBSD and most of the UNIX and UNIX-like desktops need a little more work to make them equal to the commercially available applications on the Mac. IMO, Apple has done a great job of bringing BSD to the masses, and the user will never even have to know that there is a command line underneath it all. My family members use Macs and they don't know a think about UNIX. Now if FreeBSD could do that... -john
