History

Install Linux On Old Macbook

Mac OS X was first released in 1999 in the form of Mac OS X Server 1.01. It looked very much like earlier releases of the “classic” Mac OS, but underneath it was based on something very different: Unix. About two years later, Mac OS X was released for Apple's desktop systems with a new look and new features. Several versions of Mac OS X have been released since that time, most recently Mac OS X 10.4 “Tiger” in 2005.

The Unix underpinnings of OS X are derived from the Unix-based NeXTstep (also known as NextStep, NeXTSTEP, NEXTSTEP, OpenStep, and OPENSTEP), created by NeXT Computer, a company founded by one of Apple's founders after he departed the company in 1985. NeXTstep included a number of features revolutionary at the time of its introduction including system-wide drag and drop, system-wide piped services, 3D widgets, and other features common today2. NeXT was purchased by Apple in 1997, and NeXTstep became the foundation of Mac OS X.
