"Mac OS X for Unix Geeks" with Brian Jepson and Ernest Rothman
Saturday April 24, 2004 at MIT room 26-100
Under the classy Mac OS X user interface lurks a powerful Unix system.
Although this makes it easier for seasoned Unix users to approach Mac
OS X, there are some differences that are both frustrating and
delightful. We will cover the advanced aspects of Mac OS X's BSD
personality, focus on Mac-specific details that make it subtly
different from other Unix systems, the use of Open Source
applications, and Scientific Computing.
Who Should Attend
-----------------
Unix users making the switch to Mac OS X, and Mac OS X users who have
no prior Unix experience but want to explore the power of Mac OS X's
Unix foundation. Also, Macintosh systems administrators who want a
deeper understanding of Mac OS X's Unix personality.
Seminar Topics
* Customizing the Terminal and Shell
* File system view from Finder vs. Unix Shell
* Compiling Open Source applications with Fink and DarwinPorts
* Secure remote access, using SSH, X11, and VNC
* Mac OS X for scientific computing
* Available hardware and software
* High and low profile examples
* Role of X11
* Challenges and opportunities
* Online resources
