No. You are wrong.

For the sake of a timeline, OS X uses version numbers 10.x.x

which indicate that it is a SUCCESOR to Mac OS 9 and earlier.

BUT it is a major departure from the "Classic" Mac OS 9 and earlier, 
which are NOT unix-based.

Beneath the Aqua/Cocoa GUI, Mac OS X has a Mach kernel and much of 
its DNA comes from Open BSD.

It's not Linux... but not a bad alternative.
