Yes, Zonker pointed out Unix branched a long time ago from System 
V(AT&T) and
 BSD(Berkeley ) I think if my memmory serves me right.  Dennis Richie 
and the Bell Lab Boys in Jersey versus the University of California at 
Berkeley(Bill Joy et al...) Also See link about Unix History.

But , back to Mac 10.x it is techically not like Linux in that the 
kernel is a microkernel where linux will always be more advance in 
performance.  See article in Linux Journal This should put your FUD 
Fears to rest at least in the server area :
