Operating Systems OS X (Apple) Help installing a Unix operating system on a mac Post 302348326 by sitney on Friday 28th of August 2009 02:47:59 AM

Mac OS X is unix

Under the hood, Mac OS X is unix. I recommend that you familiarize yourself with the Terminal application (found in Utilities) and get a feel for the command line.

I have not needed to install a different Unix OS because I find the one included with Mac OS X to be more than sufficient for me. I did however install VMWare Fusion for Windows XP and I could install other OSes if I need to.

One way to easily extend the Mac OS X unix is to install Mac Ports found at www.macports.org This utility let's you easily install a huge array of unix tools that may be missing from the stock Mac OS X toolbox.

Good luck.
