Of course, and 15 gear inches is so low you would have a hard time staying upright anyway.

Apple on the other hand, (and I'm only speaking from my months of learning C and an equal time with both with out a GUI), when you start digging around at the command line is a real interesting mix of BSD and System V. If a command typed using one convention doesn't work, try it using the other. Linux/Unix often need only minor changes to port one to the other, so it seems to me, being familiar with both that Apple actively keeps an eye on the opensource community, sees a thing they like, port it over to Unix and now being ported and compiled into new code, hides behind the Unix licensing agreement.

Xbox, Tivo, your wireless router also has tons of Linux code running in it too.
