Notes on the Macintosh
I do most of my work on Macs because I like having a full Unix operating system, I like having well-integrated graphical tools, I like having hardware that's highly integrated with the software, and I like having other people worry about the system administration. The Mac is a great system, but I've also found that there are some programs that make it a lot easier to use:
- MacPorts, a nice port management system for Open Source ports on the Mac.
- EMACS on MacOS: Aquamacs Emacs 21 for MacOS Emacs.app
- iterm (better Terminal)
- Enhanced Carbon Emacs (ECE) plugin
- LinkBack Framework; you want the Keynote plug-in (doesn't work with Keynote '09)
- SuperDuper!, an easy-to-use backup system for the Mac which makes bootable drives.
Other places to look for cool Mac stuff:
- Hawk Wings' list of MacOS Plug-ins
- PHP5 for Mac
LaTeX on the Mac
Option #1: teTeX through MacPorts
sudo port install teTeX
Option #2: TUG's MacTex install

Fixing a corrupt cache
If your mac prints this:
dyld: shared cached file was build against a different libSystem.dylib, ignoring cache dyld: shared cached file was build against a different libSystem.dylib, ignoring cache dyld: shared cached file was build against a different libSystem.dylib, ignoring cache
Try this:
sudo update_dyld_shared_cache -force
Backing up a Mac
Although there are some nice programs like Carbon Copy Cloner and SuperDuper! for backing up Macs, here is an easy way to clone /dev/disk0s2 to /dev/disk1s2:
#!/bin/sh asr --source /dev/disk0s2 --target /dev/disk1s2 --erase --noprompt disktool -n disk1s2 backup
