[QUOTE="voiceofra, post: 641101, member: 28040"] When OS X first came out, I remember someone writing that OS X was "Unix for everybody". It really is. I've got some deep Linux/FreeBSD roots (ran FreeBSD/Linux as my primary OS starting in the mid-90s) and when my employer-at-the-time showed us the OS X beta and opened up Terminal and started using unix commands, I [B]KNEW[/B] I was in love :D To this day, I still keep a terminal window open to do various things that I just find are faster and easier to do from the command line (instead of some 3rd party gui app/wrapper for existing OS X cli utilities).
