[QUOTE="muso, post: 33377, member: 40"] Xcode is a pretty good development tool - it comes with the OS (although you have to choose to install the developer tools I think - check your OS disks for the package if you haven't installed it yet). It handles most languages (Java included if that's what you're taught in first year computer science). Make sure you install the BSD subsystem too. The terminal is almost exactly the same as you'll find in other versions of *nix. Personally I can't name any differences but I don't use it on a daily basis - maybe somebody else knows a bit more. Have a dig through the utilities folder - it contains some handy networking applications, disk/file utilities (funnily enough) as well as some general system tools. [/QUOTE]
