I stand corrected. You appear to be technically correct that OS X is "Unix" [0] not Unix-like or a Unix clone like Linux-based operating systems. Legal precedent established in the SCO-linux cases [1] seems to confirm this technicality.

I think the distinction is pedantic, but I think we can agree that Android is the most widely shipped OS based on a Unix-like kernel.

>"I think the distinction is pedantic"

It is, but no more than that of the OP and you. It's ultimately irrelevant to this discussion.

And while technically unix, the command line tools which ship are so horribly out of date as to be almost unusable.... Try using sftp on a mac sometime, if you enjoy the sensation of bleeding from your eyes.

Works just fine for me. Sorry...
