Question

Hello,

I have been a Macintosh user for many, many years. As you may know the latest MacOS ( OS X ) is UNIX based. (Please see http://www.apple.com/macosx/technologies/inside.html for more information.) Basically, I really have no idea where to start with UNIX...if anyone could take a quick look at the above link and tell me what I need to look into so that I may use this new OS to its fullest potential.

I have heard so much good stuff about UNIX users (especially the part about not getting into wars about who's operating system is the best...I guess you already know...) and would be proud to join.

Thank you all,
Mark

PS At an old job (NORTEL) I used what may have been a type of UNIX...it was called QNX so maybe that will help. Of course NORTEL moved over to Windows and things really went into the crapper!!! Smilie
