probably on a mac with OSX - oh wait that **Linux** (free BSD at it's core)

BSD is most decidedly *not* Linux. At the end of the day, they accomplish the same things. They get there in totally different ways, though.

At the kernel level, MacOSX shares nothing in common with either one of them. It comes from a totally different school of thought.

MacOSX's kernel? you mean darwin? described by apple as follows

"This foundation is a core operating system commonly known as Darwin. Darwin integrates a number of technologies, most importantly Mach 3.0, operating-system services based on 4.4BSD (Berkeley Software Distribution)"
