Hi All,
I've been listening to the FINK list for only a week or so, and have 
not even explored OS X much yet (in favor of a SuSE 7.3 for PPC 
distro), so the usual advance apologies if I'm treading overworn 
ground.  I'm certainly no unix expert, either, just a Mac guy trying 
to learn to swim in this new Waterworld of unix-based OSs  :0)

I got a devtools CD the first time I purchased OS X (10.0.3), but I 
don't think I got another one with the free 'update CDs' to OS 10.1 
(and OS 9.2.1).  Apparently getting devtools updates is not free?  (I 
would have expected this was free until I saw the above posts) As I 
am considering the benefits of moving toward OS X plus Fink for some 
linux-like functionality, it seems the current devtools are useful to 
people on this list.

But I'm not writing any software, just looking to installing some 
packages I may find useful.  Do I need the updates to Apple 
Developers Tools, and can they be had for free, even if later that 
everyone else gets them?  Do I need an Apple Developers tattoo on my 
shoulder or something?  :0)

BTW, any recommendations of books on OS X? Particularly those 
considered to be good for the 'average' user who just wants to learn 
how the OS works so that he can get stuff done efficiently?  I am 
certainly interested in learning how to effectively use the CLI to 
manage and maintain my single user OS X.1 install (on my Lombard 
PBG3).

Thanks and Kind Regards,
Michael
