I work on computers all day, this is my opinion of them (I do earn a living from them though). Be sure to watch the top one first or the bottom won't make sense.

macs are based on unix and old os that has been around since the 60s ... linux is a based on the ideas of unix but its totally new code. the idea was to make a free version of an os that worked like unix but wasnt as expensive to own.

the reason why linux is so popular with movie companies is becasue its open source code and the os does very well at running a cluster. the people that work for the movie studios can rewrite any part of the operating system and change it to meet their needs. they can also take 100 computers and join them together as one cluster so that they can all share the workload of rendering high quality frames of video.

so you see, linux and mac are really not the same thing, even thos they are based on the ideas of unix.
