A. Not related in any way. There are totally different architectures. Mac OSX is based on Unix, however.
Bought a used Mac, need to update operating system?
Q. Hi, I recently purchased a used Mac computer, it's a G3. The operating system is OS 9.3 and I need to update it. I also do not know the Administrator login info for this computer, and no software came with the computer. What sets should I take to update the system? My parent's have Snow Leopard on their computer, would I be able to use their install disks to update my computer? Thanks!
A. The maximum version of Mac OS for a G3 computer is 10.3.9. Any version 10.3.x can be updated to 10.3.9 after installing it.
Mac OS 10.4.x requires a G4 processor. The Tiger installer will not even allow you to install.
You do not have OS 9.3. Take a closer look. What is it?
All pre-OS X systems have an option for user environment, but like Windows user environment, it is pretty lame, not real security, and doesn't have any bearing on installing updates or upgrades. The user password is only needed to login. The system has various levels of control that can be applied to users, but no actual "Administrator". That is a UNIX (including OS X and Linux) thing, although the term was borrowed by Microsoft (like almost everything else they ever developed).
Not only can you not use any Snow Leopard installer with a G3, but all discs that are made to pack with Apple computers are related to that exact model of computer. They are useless for any other model of computer.
Mac OS X 10.3 works with these Macintosh computers:
Power Mac G5--all models except Power Mac G5 (Early 2005), Power Mac G5 (Late 2005) which use Mac OS X 10.4
Power Mac G4 or Macintosh Server G4--all models
Power Macintosh G3 or Macintosh Server G3 that have built-in USB ports
iMac--all models released in 2004 or earlier
iBook--all models except iBook G4 (Mid 2005) which uses Mac OS X 10.4
PowerBook G4--all models except PowerBook G4 (Double-Layer SD) which uses Mac OS X 10.4
PowerBook G3--Bronze Keyboard models only
Additional:
* 128 MB RAM (memory) or more for Mac OS X 10.3.9 or earlier.
* At least 1.5 GB free hard disk space. Note: For Mac OS X 10.2 or later, 3.0 GB is the recommended minimum. The exact amount required depends on your computer and how you install Mac OS X (default versus custom installation, for example).
* Mac OS 9.1 or later for Classic applications.

what is the difference between a unix, windows and linux hosting plan?
Q. obviously i appreciate that the operating systems are different, but will choosing one over the other affect basic things like mysql, FTP, e-mails, DNS, php etc?
A. All websites today currently run on either a Windows web server or a Linux-based server. The vast majority of websites run on a Linux-based platform as Linux has a strong reputation for security and web server performance. With standard (static) HTML-based websites, the web hosting platform doesn't make much difference. When it does make a difference, however, is when the website uses a dynamic scripting technology such as ASP (A Microsoft based technology), or PHP / PERL (Linux based technologies). A Windows-based hosting solution will run a Microsoft Windows server with IIS (Internet Information Server), and is necessary to run an ASP / ASP.NET scripted website. A Linux-based platform is typically used for PHP, Perl, and most other types of websites. Basically, unless your website uses ASP (pages ending in the .asp extention), Windows hosting is not neccessary.
