current MacOS has absolutely NO unix foundation (which is why it sucks worse 
than a $20 hooker). Only OS X. Perhaps you're thinking of NeXT?

It will be completely transparent, however they are attempting to bring the GUI 
into the 90's (pity the 90's have come and gone) so some of the old MacOS-isms 
are dead. of course they're all on some serious weed in cupertino, so the GUI 
is now lickable. *barf*

put terminal.app in the startup folder. Think BeOS (except OS X uses the Mach 
microkernel, and BeOS doesn't look like a 2 year old's chew toy)

you'd need a firewall, not a virus scanner
