Ah, thats right, all Linux distros (except for Linspire/Lindows) comes with a free version. Just never found the personal SuSe.

As for BSD, yes, OS X is based on *NIX, mach, but uses BSD in some parts, and NeXtSteP other places. If you had to pick between Linux/FreeBSD to say which resembles OS X the most (or the other way around in fact) you would have to say BSD.

That`s all there is to it, now STFU and get back to work.

No, I would say "NeXTstep", which was creation of NeXT company that Steve Jobs were working in before merging with Apple and coming back to it =P

[EDIT] Ok, I was wrong, I give up :P.
MacOS X is a new operating system that is built on the foundation of BSD Unix and incorporates some NeXT technology.
