It's a battle as old as time: good vs. evil. Fortunately, Linux and FOSS are on our side as we wage the battle against those who try to steal our secrets and invade our systems.
Checking your system's security is best done sooner rather than later. Test the locks with our article on security verification; find out how to use PAM to help secure your systems; use MinorFS and AppArmor to implement discretionary access control; learn more about Samba security in part III of our series; use Darknet to help detect bots and secure your systems; use the Yubikey to increase your site's security; and don't forget to lock the doors, because a cold boot attack could render your security useless if somebody has physical access to your computer.
But, we're not just about sowing the seeds of fear. We also show you how to use memcached in Rails, how to manage multiple servers efficiently, how to deploy applications easily with Capistrano, how to manage your videos with MythVideo, how to mix it up a bit (your audio that is), and even play a few games.

OS X has Darwin as its low-level core (this includes the kernel, command line utilities, compilers etc).
Darwin can be downloaded and then run on x86, too.
Crucially, OS X adds proprietary front-end technology, including the Aqua GUI. This will not (and probably never will) run on x86 - it's proprietary, and not part of Darwin.
On x86, you are compelled to use an X windows implementation, such as XFree86. The whole effect is something that looks pretty identical to Linux.
Hope this helps.
