Sorry I have to agree though with the original post, there definitely is something wrong with the linux community. I have also encountered the snobery like attitude when asking questions. Its not about RTFM. It's about knowing where to start... and the linux community simply doesn't help. I've played around with linux for a few years as well as BSD and solaris. I'd have to say that both the BSD and solaris community have been much more helpful and intelligent and compationate in their responses when I was a n00b.
I must say, the BSD community is right, Linux geeks haven't actually kissed girls yet.
I think the comments below are pointless especially since OS X is open sourced already. http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/
It is only the gui that is not open sourced (aqua) or wotever you call it.
To all of you that have posted about this do some reading about apple before shooting your mouth about it never happening.
