This depends entirely on the distribution and/or how the user has set it up; there is no "default." Some distributions will start it automatically after all the other daemons have launched, while others will require the user to log in via a traditional login prompt and start the X server manually.

Is Mac os x Linux?

Mac OS X is based on BSD, which is similar to Linux. Because of this, it is fairly easy to port programs between the two operating systems. However, the two operating systems are not the same, and programs for one don't work on the other. Linux also uses the X window system, and Mac doesn't, though Mac has a program to support programs that use the X window system. Because of this, Linux programs can be configured to run on Mac OS X with a little elbow grease, but not the other way around.
