Sure OOo and Firefox will be .dmg downloads. But I'm thinking of all the useful utilities: gnu grep, sed, awk, perl, seq, rev, tac, sort, join, python, etc. And then there's all the module stuff for perl, python, and ruby. I want a package manager to handle installs and updates. I don't want to install by hand (i.e. make config all test install). Since we are talking about GUI, does the Mac have some way to remotely dispay a desktop to multiple users, i.e. something like Windows Terminal Services? I'd like to remotely connect into it and get my own desktop at the same time someone else can connect and get his/her own desktop. I'm looking for that same functionality in Ubuntu, too, possibly using xrdp, but haven't explored it, yet.
