After going through the experience I had with my
power mac g3. It is time to get a better understanding
of this favor of unix (Mac OS X). It appears to be a little
different, than IRIX, AIX and Solaris.
What would be a good book to learn Darwin?
Any help would be appericated!Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, It's about learning to dance in the rain!

O'Reilly books are definitely the way to go.
Mac OS X for Unix Geeks is probably a good book for what you're wanting to learn.

I'm working on a Darwin FAQ sticky for this forum. It will have beginner resources and topical links as well. If your questions aren't answered by the O'Reilly material or in the FAQ, don't hesitate to post your questions/problems to the forum!

I've been using AIX for donkeys and Linux in annoyance rather than anger for many years.
What would be nice from a developer pov is to find out just what the take up rate of OSX is, I would hate to create a masterpiece only to find 9 out of 10 Mac users can't use the damn thing.

After working in Unix (Irix, AIX, Solaris, etc) for many years, I find that Mac OS X, is a little different in how it handle things.
Any help with OS X would be helpful.Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, It's about learning to dance in the rain!

Since installing all the developer tools, X11 and stuff from a few other places it is starting to look more and more unixey, at least from the terminal it is.
The stuff that is missing compare to say AIX is stuff I can live without.

btw if you have any specific questions then fire away as I may very well have had to find out the answer in my own climb up the curve, a climb which has been full of stumbles so far but no big falls yet.
I have the book Mac OSX V10.2 written by Brad Miser but that doesn't (even though it is 3 inches thick!) cover much of the under the covers stuff like development tools and the such like.

I know what you mean, some of the so called Unix books are not worth the paper it is printed on.
