[Techtalk] mac os x

[Ellie]

I think that the compilers are not installed by default on OS X and that you have to do a custom install to get all the advantages of using OS X.  OS 10.1 is a paid upgrade (20 US dollars or so) which, to the best of my knowledge, you cannot download.  It does come with Samba, however, along with some nice utilities.  I've found it to be pretty compatible and in some ways comparable with Linux, but it seems it was released before it was really ready.  It is way too slow!
