Thanks.
I will give that a try.
Chris.

Hi Chris,
Install the Ports infrastructure from macports.org, which is just a .pkg
file you download and run like any other Mac installer. That automatically
makes the appropriate changes to your .profile file so that you can just run
"port install pianobar".
Hope this helps,
Zack.

Hi Chris,
Indeed, you can install Pianobar and run it quite happily. There are ways
to make installing most common Unix software almost like apt-get, though
the latter itself hasn't been ported over I don't think. Consider sites
like www.macports.org, which maintains an up-to-date copy of pianobar
among many other packages, installed via a 'ports' command.
Hope this helps,
Zack.

Seeing that OSX basically at the end of the day under the hood is!
believe it or not, a form of Unix, and seeing that it is possible to get
to a terminal shell through the Utilities folder in the finder, could one
actually run Unix/Linux based CLI apps that don't require a graffic
interface? For example, there is a really nice command line only Linux
based Pandora player called pianobar. It works absolutely flawlessly!
Also could one install apt then do things on a mac like apt-get install
or aptitude install packagename?
I know that sounds like a dumb question, but... yeah, I know I could run
Linux in a VM machine, or could probably in theory even do it with
bootcamp, but I really would rather not, as there's really only like 3 or
4 things from Linux that I'd like to port over.
Thanks.
Chris.
