When I started writing code again I found that writing shell scripts for unix was very demanding of knowledge of not only unix sys admin but the C programming language . You can write some crazy scripts .

X 11 is a tricky topic for apple users . With basic unix or bsd you just have command prompt . The X 11 software modules were created to let you setup a GUI environment to use with unix or bsd . OS X is darwin bsd at the core and you can add the X 11 software and setup a gui interface for...

Brickhouse , didnt think of that . Ill look into it .

Where is there good info online about ipfw for os x ? I understand unix I just havnt done much with ipfw .

Hey , in the newyear it would be great if apple could possibly help me out with this one . If you edit the ttys file on OS X and make a mistake you screw up everything . Free BSD is much easier to learn to use and has a great book . We all need a great how-to on editing the ttys file and...

The unofficial darwin fax is great but it's just a few pages of what is needed for us all online . A few hundred more pages would be nice , I'd help with it apple if I could just get the data from you for stuff like the ttys and IPFW specific for darwin cause it works a bit different compared...

Anyone know how to properly setup IPFW for OS X and where I can find some advice online specific to darwin ? Also how do I properly edit the ttys file on OS X ?

If you want to learn how to build back end moduels for darwin or any brand of unix type OS study C . If you want to work on front end GUI functions like games or stuff to work in the Aqua environment study C++ . Unix was built with C , when studying C you will recognise the standard...

I switched over from DOS to BSD/UNIX . BSD systems is a mathematical journey into enlightenment . I wish OS X had a setup system like SuSE Linux or Free BSD for managing ports and packages , sysinstall and yast rule . Dont let Darwin get to ya , I dont do much besides surf the internet...

SuSE ppc is the stuff . 7.3 has 8 CD-ROMS of software . I bought 7.1 and its great , I am waiting for 8.0 to come out . I have been using SuSE PPC for a few years since its stable 6.4 release in summer 2000 . Using PPC with the old Mac OS was much easier than with OS X . It takes time...

I dont like Aqua , it makes Mac BSD really confusing to use . Dos kernel didnt have all the functions of the BSD kernel . The GNU software wasnt easily available for DOS as it is for BSD/Linux . The difference between DOS and Darwin is that the mach kernel is much more complex in...

OS X is hard to figure out cause its not compatible yet with everything like Linux has been with MS Products for many moons . They are still porting over from Free BSD . I prefer BSD but the emebedded linux kicks ass . I want to sell my own open source OS . Free LSD-25 ( Lithuanian...

Linux rules , if you can set it up on your apple product . The open firmware is strange , the intel architecture is much easier to setup with the bios on the mainboard but after the hassel linux on mac is amazing stuff . There is also a ppc port of open bsd for those interested ...

The open darwin site is pretty good stuff . http://www.opendarwin.org I have checked out a few of the orielly OS X books and they are kinda lacking for people who want OS X internals but if your new to bsd/unix then I think they may be of help . My advice is look into basic C...

I got a free copy yesterday . I will upgrade soon ..... maybee .... he he :)

Ok , its was a DOS attack on the DNS servers . I have no idea what these 13 networks are , all I heard is there was the most successful hack ever preformed a few weeks ago . There is much more advanced hacks such as a plague , thats what I assumed happened and I was just wondering if OS X...

Ok , I heard about a recent hack online . Something like 9 out of the 13 major world wide web networks were hacked the other week . It was the most massive tampering of the internet in the webs recent history . How did this effect OS X , does anyone know and what is beeing done about this...

I bought a new imac in 2002 . It came with OS X 10.1 , I like it . I don't want to pay to upgrade to 10.2 but I have no choice . This sucks apple !

What you could try and do is join a programming group . It depends on your age , many of our websurfing pals are kids and not much is available . Try out DDJ , Doctor Dobbs Journal . They have a website and a neato magazine for sale . Check out the website and it's links ...
