Martin, OS X is in my plans. BUT: for somebody like myself with no Unix experience it's a big jump. So I need to have a little bit of time for that: it was scheduled for a period like August were biz is resting (a least here in Italy: the best time for an invasion plan, as everybody is at some beach or sleeping anywhere else). Still there are now some more urgent needs than I thought, and I finally settled about starting a few experiments right away on the OS I know. Results are very bad: it's difficult to translate the configs and settings from a language I do not know (any shell script in the standard download is like it were form Mars). >you get GNU tar as the standard tar doesn't handle long paths, and I >don't like the standard tcsh, so downloaded bash. BBEdit as the text >editor, and you're away! BBEdit is one of the first upgrades that go with OS X. GNU stuff in the same round... >And why use Tomcat 3, when Tomcat 4 is so good? BTW: it's so difficult to find ANY hint or tutorial on how Tomcat 3 needs to be configured. At times I hate living in a fast moving profession... >I love OS X! >Martin As as long, LONG time Mac user, it's a mixed feeling. I know that there are a ton of improvements and advantages, but somehow I managed to wait until now. Go figure...
