I just got a new iMac and am wondering what a few essential utilities or programs are... to optimize or check my computer to make sure it is running efficiently... or any other programs that you would reccommend.
yup, that and disk utility( in utilities folder) are all youll ever need. if youre not an experienced mac user, or not that, but if youve never used terminal, and dont know what cron scripts are, please use cocktail.trpnmonkey41 said:(outdated link removed)
Thats really all you need
Macman said:dont use onyx unless youre experienced mac user as I mentioned the above. onyx can really screw up your mac if youre not careful or dont know what something is.

meltbanana314 said:OS X under the hood is UNIX, so by backend I assume you mean 'Darwin' (http://developer.apple.com/darwin/) - which is code from Mach + FreeBSD.
If you want to really learn UNIX, the *real* way - grab an extra x86 computer and install Slackware Linux (www.slackware.com) or FreeBSD (www.freebsd.org)
Or, just do a Google search for "UNIX tutorial."
