I stumbled upon a well written set of pages describing “OS X”
It’s written from the perspective of a past systems administrator, current systems engineer (who apparently is working at Sun on Solaris kernel stuff) and has some good details on what exactly OS X’s history is, what is’ made up of, how stuff is put together and so forth.
The conclusion also has a well thought out discussion on why it’s a good client platform, compared to Linux which just doesn’t cut it yet for pure end-user desktop use in anything other than a heavily managed big-momma-corp-it-department kind of way.
