OS X behaves like most unixii, except for the different location of the home directories.

I'm pretty sure OS X is a combination of NetBSD and NeXT, but don't quote me on that. I use IRIX and OS X daily, and they are almost identical at the command line level (except that OS X has a bunch of extra tools for interacting with the GUI/clipboard/applescript/etc, which is awesome). > Good scrappy computers can be found for less than 50$ for an IBM PC.

Why would anyone want to stick a headache-in-a-box on their desk. The Mac will do everything he needs as soon as he figures out how his shell works. - B -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
