How Mac handles either download of software, update of software or
Deleting Files:
1. Choose desired file to Delete, the empty into Trash. (Drag to Trash)
2 Go to Finder Menu Choose empty Trash ( or use Shift-command-Delete)
3 System: Are your sure you wish to delete file.<Cancel> <Okay>
4 You choose to cancel action (in case you choose wrong) or okay to
commit to the empty.
Well, i don't even have a desktop where i could do such things. And
certainly i would be heavily annoyed if the OS means to know better than
i what i wish to do. ;)
For download of software:
1. click on appropriate method to download.
2. when downloaded and the pkg file or dmg pile will open
3. Drag application to desired folder
4. window comes up Do you wish to install program<cancel> <Okay>
5 you choose whether you want to risk installation.
Automatic installers the first three steps are automatically done in
background.
Could be to similar ubuntu, so i have read. On Gentoo it is quite different.
I have no way of knowing about Linux, or UNIX. Last I saw on UNIX is was
80's style command line. I assume since Linux and UNIX are distant
cousins they work similarly.
There was just a discussion in de.test where someone needed to find a
file whose name was known. He had no luck with the usual methods on Win
so he used a program with the name Ransack, whatever that may be.
Well, here i would open a terminal, issue 'locate file' and be done.

Item 2 in first item (download software) should be:
2. when downloaded and the pkg file or dmg *file* will open
On Mac go to Finder (what you see when Mac Boots up) go to File menu>
(Mouse to) Find File (click on Find File). type in name of file or part
of name and any file that has those words come up as. Or go to Spotlight
and as you type characters it list files. until you type last character
You may end up finding your file before all Characters are typed.
