Hi,
Forwarded posting...
Since Mac OSX is to a degree related to FreeBSD would not a Mac version and
a Linux version have a fair amount in common?
Not really much more than a Mac version and a RISC OS version would have
in common. OSX has a BSD personality on top of its Mach kernel, so it
looks like BSD at the system call and command-line level, but as soon as
you want a user interface, then OSX is a world of its own, very much
like RISC OS.
Of course, there are cross-platform toolkits like Qt that make this much
easier by allowing user interface code to be written that runs on all
major platforms (and a lot of minor ones, but not RISC OS).
