[3] All unixes are different, and MacOS X is more so. Apple has
made some changes that just seem arbitrary (what's the point
of not having a "root" account?),
Just enable it. The point is that it is not thre *by default* not *tout
court*.

Learning about unix from
materials oriented toward older unixes while practicing on
MacOS X will be disorienting; for someone serious about learning
unix per se, I'd suggest finding some old discarded computer and
installing NetBSD or FreeBSD on it (these differ less than other
unixes from MacOS X).
O'Reilly already has MANY publications (and many more are coming)
describing Unix the OS X way and OS X in detail for specific tasks.
Enough to keep you busy reading for a year ;-)
One pretty handy is the "OS X for Unix geeks" which focuses on the
differences on the "how-to" between unices and OS X.
