Operating Systems > macOS
An interesting question

it would rock if they managed to get that MacOS thing be CONSOLE BASED meaning you login as console and you can do stuff in console just like Linux. it would make AWESOME servers and there's tons of compatible stuff in terms of games ;)
all Mac needs is FreeBSD with a GUI that is easy for dummies to use (like me). i don't mean that it wipes your ass for you but it would at least be simple.....simple as Windows but powerful as Linux (and actually include the console this time)

that's exactly what OSX is.
i forget who it was on these forums who was trying out the whole MacOS/UNIX thing (maybe psyjax) but it looks very promising.
Chooco:
no man, MacOS doesn't have a console. that is why it fails IMO (it's a speed thing, sort of like why Solaris is more common for servers than Windows2000 is)
voidmain:
This was a topic of discussion before. Even though I don't have a Mac with OSX (or even a Mac) I believe it is possible to start Mac OS X without the GUI by modifying "/etc/ttys". Do some searching. I would love to play around with one but as I said, I don't have one. )-:
Calum:
MacOS does not have a console, OSX does. Not sure how to get into it, since i have never used it, take voidmains advice and search though, since if this is the reason MacOSX fails for you, you are liable to be pleasantly surprised...

In OSX, you can just login as >console, which will forego all the GUI stuff. No modifying of files.
