You can check out Fink (a MacOSX-based source and package manager) at http://fink.sourceforge.net

It will help you install and use hundreds of UNIX programs, more and more are added everyday. You can install the 'bash' shell if you like (MacOSX ships with 'tcsh' by defaut). There is a good bash manual http://www.linuxdoc.org on the 'Guides' section.

You can also check out various GUI UNIX frontends for MacOSX at http://www.versiontracker.com/macosx
Check out 'OpenMan' wich is a good manual page ('man page') frontend for MacOSX, very useful to learn CLI commands.

It is safe to say that MAC OS X is growing very fast, but does not have as many command line utilities (Yet!) as older UNIX systems. After all, MAC OS X is barely a year old!!!
MacOSX is a year old but as you know it is NeXTSTEP based which is fairly old in itself (not mentioning its FreeBSD roots). There are so many commands and utilites that it's easy to get lost... Smilie Just installing 'cpan' opens a vast perl universe.

NAME
uri_urn - URI utilities, URN scheme SYNOPSIS
package require Tcl 8.2 package require uri::urn ?1.1.2? uri::urn::quote url uri::urn::unquote url _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
This package provides two commands to quote and unquote the disallowed characters for url using the urn scheme, registers the scheme with the package uri, and provides internal helpers which will be automatically used by the commands uri::split and uri::join of package uri to handle urls using the urn scheme. COMMANDS
uri::urn::quote url This command quotes the characters disallowed by the urn scheme (per RFC 2141 sec2.2) in the url and returns the modified url as its result. uri::urn::unquote url This commands performs the reverse of ::uri::urn::quote. It takes an urn url, removes the quoting from all disallowed characters, and returns the modified urls as its result.
