The History of MacOSX
The University of Washington has a simply wonderful presentation by Bud Tribble posted to their web site entitled ‘Mac OS X for UNIX Users’. Follow the link to the page with the Windows Media stream
Mac OS X for UNIX Users
The underlying operating system in Mac OS X (Jaguar) actually has a long history stretching back to BSD UNIX and CMU Mach. Bud Tribble will cover its interesting evolution and its place in the current line-up of mass market operating systems. Topics include: the miracle (and challenges) of actually providing ease of use on top of BSD, the interaction of Mac OS X with the open-source software community (Darwin) and recent developments in Mac OS X (Rendezvous networking, Safari browser, X Window Server support, OpenGL, Java tools).
