[QUOTE="Jdurr, post: 74802"] Linux isn't based off of GNU, it just uses GNU utilities. Linux is just the kernel. BSD is based off of UNIX, but so is Linux. Both BSD and OSX use GNU utilities. They also all use other open source utilities such as Python. If you open up a terminal in OSX (or console, I forget what they call thier command line) and type "python" you will get the little ">>>" python prompt and have access to the python interpreter. If that isn't enough, or missing for whatever reason then you can download a python IDLE at [URL=http://www.python.org]python.org[/URL] If you want to write re-usable Python scripts instead of just writting things into the interpreter, then you are going to need a text editor such as VI or Pico. I know these editors are out there for mac. If you are going to need to keep up with people using Linux, then I recommend you get [URL=http://fink.sourceforge.net/]Fink[/URL] as it gives you access to alot of GNU programs. [/QUOTE]
