The Mac is a great system, but I've also found that there are some programs that make it a lot easier to use:
	~~==Initial Setup==~~
	* Put the Terminal application into your dock.
	* Put the Dock on the right side of the screen (it was designed for use on the right side of the screen and takes up less screen real estate there.)

	~~==Recommended Installations==~~		* [[Notes on Setting up a Macintosh]]
	~~===Open Source software via MacPorts===~~
	~~Install these applications in this order~~
	* Download and install the latest version of XCode from http://developer.apple.com/
	* [~~http://www.macports.org/ MacPorts], a nice port management system for Open Source ports~~ on ~~the Mac.~~
	*# Install MacPorts
	*# <tt>sudo port selfupdate</tt>
	*# <tt>sudo port install unison</tt>
	*# <tt>sudo port install py26-matplotlib</tt>
	*# <tt>sudo port install py26-wxpython</tt>
	''This installs matplotlib for the python in /opt/local/bin/python2.6, so you'll need to type <tt>python2.6 </tt> to use it. The advantage is that you can update the python by using <tt>port update installed</tt> but the disadvantage is that you don't get the most up~~-to-date version of matplotlib.''~~
