What are the big differences that you see?


try stuff like...

   cd /
   ls -al
Oh - yes, the layout is a little different
   cat /etc/group
That should be the same, although IIRC it's generated - you don't 
want to modify that directly.
No, it's not. It's a fallback from netinfo but it is not activated by 
default (AFAIK).
What I mean is that for stuff that doesn't hit the directory server - 
stuff that expects /etc/group - the file is generated by NetInfo 
whenever an update is made.  Or so I thought.


   set

Don't know what the problem is :)
  What shell are you using on OS X?  I use bash on both.
   rpm -qa | grep perl
   apt-cache search perl
Yes, it's clearly not red hat another linux distro.
$ which perl
shows it's in /usr/bin/
   ls -al /usr/bin/java

everything is different to me :-D
java is different and a little funky (I wouldn't say weird as I never 
put it in /usr/bin myself...) in that it's in
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework
which will hold multiple versions of Java if you have them....
the JVM package system is pretty cool, takes a while to appreciate it 
but it's very easy to use once you realize that it's enough to change 
the

 /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK

symlink to point to any of the JDK installed. For example, here is my 
machine:

how did you keep 1.4.1?  Mine was removed at some point...
