[QUOTE="Murlyn, post: 8178, member: 184"] Well Graphite pretty much said everything, but I wouldnt mind putting in a few words :) Oh and welcome to the mac world.. you will love it! :) A few Utilities that I love are: Stuffit Deluxe (compresses files in any way you want), Fink and Fink Commander if you like all the Unix games, programs etc and want an easy way of installing them, iClock (a very nice replacement for the apple clock), Konfabulator is really nice and informative or fun whichever and whatever you are looking for, I prefer Onyx over Cocktail especially after Cocktail put out a really messy version, X11 to run those unix games and programs I was talking about that you downloaded with fink :), Cypher to encrypt those files and password protect them, PsyncX to psync your hard drive with an external hard drive (backup) Those are just some of the utilities taht I enjoy.. plus I have a whole lot more non-utility type apps that I really like :) And if you were having problems with the link that Graphite gave (typo) use this one microsuck (outdated link removed) I manage to OS Xserves that obviously run os x Server and I really like them. I had a huge learning curve when I went into them because I really did not know that much about the *nix underpinnings, but I got exim, courier, spam assassin, plus so much more running on it and they run smoothly.. it's a great os, but it doesn't really do anything that the client os can't do.. it just does it with a better GUI.. so if you are comfortable with the *nix underpinnings you really wouldn't need to worry about Server.. especially if you are just using a client machine.. Other than that.. that's all I have to say. Graphite said everything I would have said.. plus more! Cheers! [/QUOTE]
