I only quoted macosrumors because they claimed to have updated their site recently ... I haven't been following the Mac world for quite a few years (even though I've owned Macs since '85 and Macs outnumber Unix systems in my house.) What's a good site for up-to-date info on MacOS? The Apple Mac OS X site provides a link labeled as "Sources to some of the software found in MacOS X Server's BSD subsystem", which includes a .tgz archive for bash 2.05 [see ftp://ftp.apple.com/devworld/Rhapsody/Sources/] The Apple site also has a MacOS X/Rhapsody FAQ which says: Will the UNIX command-line be part of Mac OS X? No. ... Mac OS X does include a POSIX-style kernel, providing most of the system services required by Unix utilities. ... We expect that a BSD command-line environment will be available for use on top of Mac OS X, though it may come from a third party. [http://developer.apple.com/macosx/server/rhapfaq/2.html] and in another place says The UNIX command line will not be necessary, but will be available for those who wish to take advantage of it. [http://developer.apple.com/macosx/server/rhapfaq/11.html] All this looks to be a couple of months old at least, so maybe even Apple doesn't know what the truth is (and is that really so surprising? :-) This is pretty far from any sort of FreeBSD discussion now, so I'll only reply to followups via email...
