Just to make sure, has anyone pointed out the Fink project to you? <http://fink.sourceforge.net/> These are ports of common Unix utilties and applications to Mac OS X. Its a convenient way to get most of the utilities one would be comfortable with under a Linux-style unix. And to get the libraries needed for building your favorite Perl XS modules (that is a feeble attempt to bring this on topic.) The Oroboro OS X window manager <http://oroborosx.sf.net> is a very Aqua looking window manager, so you can run a rootless X server and not have your window's aesthetics clash. > 3. Are you using Mail for email? Plusses & minuses are welcome. Mail is neat for its use of the Services menu ("Mail To" and "Mail Selection" items that are available from other applications) and for its drag and drop behavior. (dragging an attachment from the mail window to the finder copies the attachment to that location. Dragging the attachment into a terminal window types the pathname to the controlling terminal, etc.) The unicode support is nice. Your foreign spam comes in its proper script, rather than funny escape characters that mess up for text display (like frequently happens with mutt) > 4. More in-depth books than "Missing Manual".
