Mac OS X 10.3 Panther
Mac OS X значительно отличается от предыдущих версий Mac OS. Основа системы — Darwin. Darwin — свободное программное обеспечение с открытыми исходными кодами. Его ядром является XNU (акроним от «Xnu Not Unix» — «Xnu не значит Юникс»), в котором используется ядро Mach и стандартные сервисы BSD (произошедшие от FreeBSD 5). Все возможности Unix’а доступны через консоль. Поверх этой основы Apple разработано много проприетарных компонент, таких как Quartz Composer и Finder.
Mac OS X включила множество возможностей делающих её более стабильной, чем предыдущая версия Mac OS 9. Mac OS X использует вытесняющую многозадачность и защиту памяти, которые позволяют запускать несколько процессов, которые не смогут прервать или повредить друг друга. На архитектуру Mac OS X повлиял OPENSTEP, который был задуман как портируемая операционная система. К примеру, NEXTSTEP был портирован с оригинальной 68k платформы NeXT компьютера, до того как он — NEXTSTEP — был куплен Apple. Так и OPENSTEP был портирован на PowerPC в рамках проекта Rhapsody.
Наиболее заметным изменением была тема Aqua. Использование закруглённых углов, полупрозрачных цветов, и светлых полосок так же повлияло и на внешний вид аппаратного обеспечения первых iMac’ов. Некоторым пользователям это не понравилось — они считали это непрофессиональным. Другие были довольны, и считали это новым шагом вперёд. После выхода первой версии Mac OS X другие разработчики тоже стали использовать дизайн Aqua. Для предотвращения использования своего дизайна на других платформах Apple воспользовалась услугами юристов.
Mac OS X также включает среду разработки программного обеспечения Xcode, которая позволяет разрабатывать программы на нескольких языках включая C, C++, Objective-C, и Java. Она поддерживает компиляцию в так называемые «толстые программы» (fat binaries, в пресс релизах Universal Binary), которые могут запускаться на нескольких платформах (x86, PowerPC).

Overview of Mac OS X 10.3 Panther
OS X is better than OS 9! Why? Because OS X has incorporated the features of multi-tasking, multi-threading, multi-user, protective memory, and a slew of other features. Apple created OS X because they weren’t ready to incorporate these important features in the previous codebase.
Apple attempted to try to to it with OS 9 during a project called “Copeland” but it failed Apple realized they were getting to need to create a completely new operating system; thus, OS X was born! the great news is that applications coexist with each other more nicely in OS X.
Users have the advantage of multitasking, which allows for multiple applications to be open at the same time without one application hogging all the CPU power. Multi-threading allows a multiprocessor computer to utilize both processors to their fullest capacity, which ends up in much more POWER and speed! The multi-user feature of OS X allows all the files to be assigned privileges in order that multiple people can use one computer and have their Desktop and applications personally customized.
Although it’s going to not sound like much, protective memory is useful for the rare incidence when an application crashes because the crash of 1 program doesn’t affect the opposite open applications or crash the OS of the PC – this is why some people claim that they haven’t had to reboot their computers for months or maybe years after installing OS X! Goodbye, unstable environment!
OS X Desktop and Dock
Most of what you are doing on your Mac begins on the Desktop. The Desktop allows you to manage files, store documents, launch programs, adjust the way your Mac works, and far more! The first icon you’ll probably notice on your Desktop is that the disk drive icon (usually labeled as Macintosh HD, iMac HD, or something like that). The disk drive icon resides within the upper-right corner of your Desktop and by double-clicking upon it, you’ll view the files and applications on your disk drive.
At rock bottom of the OS X Desktop, you’ll see a row of icons. These icons comprise the “Dock.” Single-clicking a dock icon allows you to either-
- Open applications, files, or folders; or
- Bring an open application, file, or folder to the front of all the others.
Whenever you launch a program, Mac OS X puts its icon within the Dock – marked with a touch black triangle. As soon as you quit the program, its icon disappears from the Dock unless you had placed the application within the Dock permanently. If you realize the appliance is one that you simply use tons and would like to stay it within the Dock permanently, simply press and hold down your mouse on the Dock icon and choose “Keep in Dock” and alias are going to be made.
Pressing and holding your mouse (or Control-Clicking or Right-clicking if you’ve got a right mouse button) on a folder that resides within the Dock allows you to ascertain the contents of a whole folder also as other folders embedded in the folder. You’ll also put away files by dragging them directly into the Dock’s folder icons even as if it were a daily folder on the disk drive.
Menu Commands
An examination of the Finder File Menu will reveal a couple of changes from OS 9. for instance, the keyboard command to form an alias is not any longer Command + M; the command has been changed to Command + L. To maneuver an item to the trash, select the item (i.e., click once on a document you would like to trash so its icon is highlighted) and use the keyboard command of Command + Delete (Backspace).
Note: you’ll later empty the trash by selecting Shift + Command + Delete (if you’re within the Finder at the time) otherwise you can also simply choose Empty Trash from the Finder menu. Another way is to click once and hold down the mouse on the Trash icon in the Dock and choose Empty Trash. Press the choice key once you choose Empty Trash to stop the warning message from appearing.

What is Mac OS X for PPC (OSX 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5)?
Mac OS X is an operating system by Apple Inc. It is a conglomoration of NeXTSTEP, A/UX, and Mac OS 9. It is based off the unix kernel and provides compatibility with X11. It features a new theme called Aqua which replaces Platinum from Mac OS 8 and 9. It also adds the Dock as a place to launch applications (Not dissimilar to the underused Launcher) as well as some other features.
It started out on PowerPC processors but later transitioned onto Intel processors with Mac OS X Leopard (10.5) the last to natively support the PowerPC architecture and Snow Leopard (10.6) the last to support PowerPC applications on Intel-based Macs. All versions of Mac OS X that were made to run on PowerPC systems (with the exception of Leopard) had a Mac OS 9 emulation layer called ‘Classic’. It allowed Mac OS X to run Mac OS 9 applications that weren’t updated to run natively on OS X (known as carbonization based on the Carbon API). However, some applications and extensions won’t work under Classic. One example is Final Cut Pro 2. Yet, 99% of the time, Classic was perfectly capable of running most OS 9 apps.
