Re: The Last Word
The current version of the OS is 10.4.10.
I got that Make is the command line utiliy/app to create apps from source code (I've never done it, so can't help) and I remember tar is tape archive, but tarbell was lost on me. Stupid slang
Mac OS X (that computer on your desk) is a BSD machine. It differs from the other BSD Unix distros is that it is uses the a modern version of the Mach kernel (you remember the Mach microkernel project at Carnegie Mellon University?). Another difference is that Mac OS X is based on NeXTStep/OPENSTEP -- the OS the World Wide Web was first built on.
That Sparcstation and the Mac on your desk now have a lot in common.
