    How do I uninstall a package? Is there something like "pkgrm" in OS X that will let me view all my installed packages and let me remove what I want?

    Multiple consoles or desktops...

    No multiple desktops in OS X. It's the only Unix GUI not to include this. I've been submitting feedback to Apple to ask for this feature, you should too. They probably don't even read their feedback, but it's worth a shot. It should be very easy for Apple to include multiple desktops and it...
