Ian Murdock has been hired by Sun Microsystems and one of his main focuses is to make a Solaris distribution (including a package management system) so after Solaris, Mac OS X and Windows will be the only two mainstream OSs that don’t have a ports type (external repo) package management system.

It’s a pretty big investment for the packaging company but if Ubuntu (and really most Linux distros) can manage, I think a huge company should have no problem.

It has a _lot_ of work to do install your setup (think cygwin), but so far it seems easy enough:<br><br>sudo port install gnucash Just an FYI: MacPorts (http://www.macports.org/) is a package repository for Mac’s.

All the PL profs at Purdue use Mac OS X and, for example, Prof. Vitek is all about Java so they are bound to get it working. It'd be bad business to leave so many people out in the cold.<br><br>People always complain when a new OS comes out (not saying that you are complaining; just in general) when there are problems but really, it's unavoidable.

My only gripes are because how PHP is bundled with Leopard, I cannot use 3rd party extensions, so I would have to compile my own PHP installation. Alo, Java 6 is not _really_ available. They have a developer preview, but it's a hassle to run any java program with it. I have actually found it quite easy to do some development on my Mac.

It's nice to say the least, but definitely not a replacement for a compiler =) Yea I have to admit, I was impressed when I first used the “two-finger panning” for scrolling around a zoomed in pdf doc.

Because are not limited to the confines of 1 directional scrolling... Personally I think you have to give him props for being as stupid as he was... i mean WOW... i still think we should make an xkcd comic out of it! i like to think of it as Two Finger Panning… Because are not limited to the confines of 1 directional scrolling… Personally I think you have to give him props for being as stupid as he was… i mean WOW… i still think we should make an xkcd comic out of it!
