Well, as a looooooooong-time Linuxoid, when I started using a Mac I  
was fairly astounded how invisible the differences were.  "top" is  
kind of dorky on the Mac, but aside from that I'm hard-put to think of  
anything that's day-to-day visible to a heavy bash user.  Well, except  
for the filesystem being semi-case-insensitive, which gets you in the  
weirdest ways.  Solaris classic, on the other hand, surprises me all  
the time.
