Eh! Certainly not, at least if you go back to the beginning and follow their structure as they developed.

Oh! Certainly not! Come on Eric! You followed their structure as they developed? Unix isn't arcane?

Eric Stevens
Not for me, at least not in those days when I remembered what it was all about.

arcane understood by few; mysterious or secret

While UNIX may not be very "mysterious" and certainly not "secret", it is definately something understood by few. And even if you want to count yourself into those few, that doesn't make UNIX any less arcane.

OSX isn't a Unix based graphical interface OS?

Eric Stevens
The graphical interface has little/nothing to do with the fact that it is based on UNIX.

This is true for any graphical user interface. Or to put it another way; What GUI does have a lot to do with the fact that it is based on UNIX, Eric?

Savageduck
Development of OSX started with NeXT. It is UNIX 03 certified and Darwin compliant and once you head back to Terminal and the Command line it is as arcane and geeky as can be, or you could possibly want it to be.

Eric Stevens
Thatt's only if you come into it from the side.

"side"? I don't understand what you mean by "side" here. Could you please elaborate?
