Multiple desktops on a Mac, that's what I call innovation! :P </rant> I did have some luck with Fink. It's a fairly good GNU environment and things tended to compile rather well (Apache, PHP, etc). I even had KDE running for a while, but it didn't like user switching and I think the power saver stuff. It would lock the computer up a little too often. I eventually just pulled Fink out because I've got an X login over ssh to my linux box and any GNU programs I need to run I just run from there.

But pretty much everything under /etc has been replaced with NetInfo. I'm sure it's great for guys that have a thousand boxes to admin, but it's a pain for just setting up one box. I guess I could spend a week or so getting familiar with all the command line stuff for NetInfo since the GUI is no real help. But it sure would be nice to just be able to edit the config files like I'm used to... EdOn Apr 20, 2007, at 3:10 PM, Daniel Brown wrote:Hmmm. I didn't try to "administer" much, but once I find and open up a terminal window, it pretty was just like being on BSD, afaict... I'm not a BSD (nor Linux) guru, but I typed things in the shell, and they did what I expected...You're exactly right, Richard. MacOS is based on BSD.And if you have any familiarity with linux administration, forget almost everything you know 'cause they changed it in OSX...
