Computer Science Engineering grad. Now a computing analyst *and* CS professor for a living (hated the guts o' all professors and have become one). BTW, I have developed all my java lab stuff on OSX, ready to be deployed on the unsuspecting PC's on the lab! :D :D dani++

As you can add an ATI to it, you can run GUI apple-scripted apps. Precisely what I need for my current project. I would like to buy one immediately. If only they were not so powerful and expensive. I would really like to have cheaper ones and have the flexibility to add more as needs grow...

Yeah, I have refrained from installing and using it because the alleged 'unstability'. As it runs as root user, it could really wreak havoc on your system. I'll definitely give it a try in the future. :D dani++

I have also been thinking on getting an iBook to run OSX but I am hooked to QuakeIII+UrbanTerror and I am not sure if it would run ok on such a machine. I've read WebLogic on MacOSX? Even if unsupported? 'phatsharpie', please give more info on this!!! dani++

I have also read the reasons why 'tcsh' sucks, but in fact, they only say (and I think rightly so) that 'tcsh' sucks only for programming. Use 'bash' for shell scripting, but 'tcsh' is really great for interactive terminal fiddling. FWIW, 'tcsh' autocompletion can also detect what program...

There's this CPAN command that opens a shell on the offending module dir to let yo do things manually. Do a 'look <module-name>' on the CPAN prompt. dani++

It might be 'vim', an extended 'vi' clone. dani++

Yeah. Also, check out http://www.devshed.com for excellent entry-level PHP and MySQL tutorials. dani++

LOL! FWIW, I am 26 =) Not so young anymore, eh? But quite young for a college professor, huh? So I'm riding the "only xx years old?" wave for a little more. On the other hand, I have been using Macs since 1989, so that would be 14 years more or less. dani++

One of the most consistent things about Moto, IBM and Apple PowerPC development is the fact that Macs with new architecture come more less a year after Moto or Big Blue officially make an announcement on the new gadget(s). Than usually makes for the time between developing a processor...

Agreed. But you can check out http://www.unix.com and you'll laugh your ass off the incredible amount of ppl that post outrageous newbie UNIX questions or homework there. Over here, the UNIX forum seemed to get a good ratio (fwiw) of content/noise and there seems to be some improvement in the...

LOL!

Also, check out the 'bash' scripting guide at: http://www.linuxdoc.org/guides.html dani++

Feliç aniversari, MacOSX! LOL! dani++

Pay attention to what is being said. All is sound and good advice. Have you tried to start holding Alt? It should present you a graphical menu of startup volumes and OS's, can you move the mouse then? dani++

Also, there's stuff like wht comes from PTH software (lie PTHPasteboard, which is a lifesaver). Dani++

Done. http://www.apple.com

Most of the problems in installing fink stuff come from fetching the packages. Either the servers are busy or the package info is outdated. dani++

I could also prove very useful to remotely control MacOSX-based web and app servers. Like X or ssh on vanilla UNIX/Linux. dani++

Try 'fink install mc' on the command line. Read the manual(s)!!! dani++
