Considering the default user for OSX is root and most end users don't realise the ramifications, I'm hoping OSX and Linux never, ever ship with binary compatability with each other. Not because I have risky habits, but rather because the last thing this list (or any other Linux forum) needs are lusers bitching that they were running as root and got themselves tagged by some foriegn bug. - -- .''`.
