Macs are great for Django development! You may have to do a bit more work to get some libraries installed as sometimes they aren't specifically tuned for Macs. Any modern Mac should be just fine for development. Heck even ancient Macs (PPC based) can be used albeit slower and somewhat harder to configure, not the OS but again some of the libraries you might install. I have a website <http://www.crowdsourcingnutritionfacts.info/> in development and the servers are Mac based. The webserver is a recently purchased low-end Mac Mini <http://www.apple.com/macmini/specs.html>. Its stack includes djagno, nginx, gunicorn, psycopg2, etc. The database server is an ancient Power Mac G4 (Mirrored Drive Doors)<http://support.apple.com/kb/SP63>, Dual 1GHz. It's running Postgres. The webserver was formerly a Power Mac G4 (Mirrored Drive Doors) <http://support.apple.com/kb/SP63>, Dual 1.25GHz which finally gave up the ghost after almost 10 years of faithful service [ sniff :-( ]. The system has thus far not been optimized but it runs adequately fast at this stage of my development process. Feel free to look around or even enter in some nutrition facts labels! :-) Toodle-looooooooooo............... creecode -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
