Yeah. Too bad it wasn't there when I first got it running this summer.
:) Still, I can add that O'Reilly's "Mac OS X Panther for Unix Geeks" is
a great book for all unix enthusiasts who want to know what's so great
about OSX that Apple doesn't tell you.
##### I'm the same way. I got X11 running from an article that appeared in MacWorld several months ago. Now if I could just find the time to install some X11 applications
There are a whole lot more powerful command line utilities; a full complement of BSD utilities, in fact. Apple's site would have users do text file editing using a (sed && mv) combo, but Vim is the default vi editor. (But how is that really different than gentoo's use of the notepad-for-xterms clone, nano?) [*]

##### It's hell trying to support myself and take care of all the household duties as a batchelor--never any time to do much of anything that I would like to do. On top of that, I have to run Mac OS and Windows to develop the custom databases and design networks. Little time to really learn Linux and FreeBSD.
