[QUOTE="Murlyn, post: 13659, member: 184"] Woah woah woah! You interpreted what I said completely wrong. I said MOST of us and by most I mean most of us here at mac-forums are gui users, but some of us do use the terminal, and way before I became a mac user. I use it for ssh, for ftp at times, for configuring my web server, for configuring other web servers that I administer, etc etc. There are a whole lot more mac os x users out there then those that frequent these boards.. we're a very very very very very very small minority. Go over to afp548.com and you'll find a lot of *nix people gone Mac gui, Darwin terminal people.. What I am saying is that you as an architect you went to a lawyer forum to ask questions about architecture. I most definitely did not say "nobody uses the unix in Mac OS X" you're putting words in my mouth.. or in my bits.. or :) I have used make make install etc etc to install *nix programs on my mac, but why in the world am I going to install specific compilers just so I can test out your app for benchmarks etc.. and optimize my system so I can give you good benchmarks? We do have programmers here, we have cinematographers, we have students, we have a lot of switchers and we help them with their problems, with their questions, to help the transition go a bit smoother for them since we have the knowledge that they do not. I do not have the knowledge to help you in your pursuit.. maybe.. just maybe there is someone here that does and they'll speak up and help you, but you're asking people to optimize their system for your application so you can have benchmarks.. that's asking a lot! It's not asking as much of those people that already have their system optimized for your app. After optimizing our system for you.. then we need to go back and reoptimize it for what we do.. when in reality you know best about what you do and you are the person that needs to be doing these benchmarks because you need to SEE the benchmarks.. go somewhere that you can download the correct compilers, ask a friend to borrow his machine, and then you optimize it and you test your apps. There are swarms of *nix users coming to mac so please do not say I said things that I did not say. If you read my 3rd sentence in my first post and you'll see that I said you need to find *nix users that have switched to mac and not pc users that have switched to mac or classic mac users that have switched to os x. And again there might be some *nix users that have switched that come to these forums, but what I have seen is that it is mostly pc users that have switched that frequent these forums and again.. that does not mean that there are no *nix users that switched because they do not frequent these forums.
