Thanks Russel!
I've gotten past the security problem!
There's options under Security & Privacy (and what can be
downloaded):
O-MacApp Store
O-idetinified developers
@-Anywhere.
Though this (Anywhere) lowers the security of what to download.
I've been Recommended this OS. I can use Windows 7 as native too.
Mengu, I don't know Homebrew.

Thanks for any help.
Apple are trying to impose a rule that all executables on OSX
are
signed. I am more or less convinced this is a good idea. It at
least
isn't the "you are only allowed to install software that comes
from the
Apple Store", which is what Apple would really like to do, but
which
would be a disaster.
There is an option in the security menu to say whether you want
applications only from the Apple Store, only signed or no
restriction.
You have to switch this to no restriction to install unsigned
DMG.
People have convinced me that leaving the setting on signed
only is the
right thing, escaping out of that for specific DMG you know the
total
history of.
I am away from an OSX machine for a couple more days, so this is
entirely from memory
The moral of this story is that the DMG should be signed.
Actually this goes for the RPM and Deb files as well. Also
stuff on
Jordi's Debian site and elsewhere. The question is whose
signature and
whose CA.
