Only one newt(kinds of) small animal, like a lizard, which spends most of
its time in the water.
        [ Oxford's Student's Dictionary of Current English ]

"Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the cauldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble."
        [ Macbeth, by William Shakespeare ]

Uh Windows and all the daemons means lots of "services" running?
I'm cursing Linux to hell currently (and/or actually our support department). Without root access in Linux you are so screwed. And kernel scheduling is so f*cked up it's impossible to work with time sensitive stuff.

uh, Macs have had a terminal for 10 years now. OSX is based on BSD. (Which you're also missing.)

I knew macs wereIn 1573, the Parliament of Dole published a decree, permitting
the inhabitants of the Franche-Comte to pursue and kill a
were-wolf or loup-garou, which infested that province,
"notwithstanding the existing laws concerning the chase."
The people were empowered to "assemble with javelins,
halberds, pikes, arquebuses and clubs, to hunt and pursue the
said were-wolf in all places where they could find it, and to
take, burn, and kill it, without incurring any fine or other
penalty." The hunt seems to have been successful, if we may
judge from the fact that the same tribunal in the following
year condemned to be burned a man named Giles Garnier, who
ran on all fours in the forest and fields and devoured little
children, "even on Friday." The poor lycanthrope, it appears,
had as slight respect for ecclesiastical feasts as the French
pig, which was not restrained by any feeling of piety from
eating infants on a fast day.

based on BSD, sorry that I didn't know they had a terminal, only used one a few times. And, as with debian, haven't tried BSD recently and didn't really consider it for my desktop OS

@Eskimo
Kernel scheduling in Linux is far better than one in Windows. For time sensitive stuff you should use real time kernel. Then you get something Windows can never hope to achieve.

And Macs... That would be 1st level with hidden doorThrough me you pass into the city of woe:
Through me you pass into eternal pain:
Through me among the people lost for aye.

Before me things create were none, save things

@ Coolthulhu

Yes, I always have to remind myself, somewhere under there is real operating system.

I want to install, on my friend's Mac that I am sometimes debugging for him, a sound effect whenever I open the terminal, which will be the line in Jurassic Park (the film) where the girl says "It's a Unix system. I know this.". (Actually, it probably would not sound very good.)

That's what Macs are good for, after all, flashy effects.

The best thing about this is that you can see it as a continuation of the previous comic!
