Yeah. Too bad it wasn't there when I first got it running this summer.
:) Still, I can add that O'Reilly's "Mac OS X Panther for Unix Geeks" is
a great book for all unix enthusiasts who want to know what's so great
about OSX that Apple doesn't tell you.

There are a whole lot more powerful command line utilities; a full
complement of BSD utilities, in fact.  Apple's site would have users do
text file editing using a (sed && mv) combo, but Vim is the default vi
editor.  (But how is that really different than gentoo's use of the
notepad-for-xterms clone, nano?) [*]

[*] <geek>Yes, yes. "Because nano is small."  And yet, they still manage
to include Vim on the gentoo install CD-ROM.  If I'm sitting inside my
chroot without access to vim to edit my /etc/make.conf, it's not too
terribly difficult to <Alt-F2> and type `vim
/mnt/gentoo/etc/make.conf`.</geek>
