No, but command-line utilities are important for *developers*. I'm a longtime Linux guy, and when I'm in a terminal window on OS X, I basically can't tell the difference from Linux. If I want to do system-oriented stuff, there are some issues, but you'd expect that. But all my usual commands for moving around, looking at things, seeing what's running, etc etc etc, are 100% the same. And this is one reason why I think OS X has done so well in the developer community. -Tim _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list indiana-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
