You can also run OS X on your Mac (if its recent enough) and since it has a full set of UNIX tools and runs a version of BSD you can get the same training in UNIX tools and commands without having to go through the process of installing another OS. As well there is a package manager, fink, available for OS X that has most, if not all, of the Debian packages recompiled for OS X. ______________________________________________________________________ Why Share?
