While learning how to use your Mac's unix shell program to install perl modules on the apache server so you can run Movable Type off your own machine may fill you with a deep and profound sense of geek cool, it's best not to share this with the rest of the world. They won't comprehend it and invariably won't see it as cool. Showing them the command line and pointing out the many lines of script that have executed won't help your case either. Did you learn nothing from the time you tried to impress your co-workers with the 300+ lines of script that you wrote in order to categorise your CDs?

First off, Mac Os X is built on unix and is still technically a *nix variant. Second off, I was using a Bash shell, which is the standard *nix shell. Therefore, I am a geek, and it is real unix. So nargh.
Actually bash is the standard shell in most unix and linux operating systems. And its still a Mac at the end of the day and therefor pants.
Could you enlighten me as to the difference between the "standard *nix shell" and "the one in use on most *nix OSes"? Surely the fact that it's the most commonly used shows it's the standard?
Darwin is Unix - the rest of OSX is software built on top of that. Rather than being Xorg, Portage, apt-get, Gnome or whatever, it's Apple's own proprietary stuff - it's still Unix, And I still want one, Linux user that I am.
What's a mac?
Confused.
Ow. Head hurty. More Football talk please.
Not only are you a big geek but you also really stink.
Harsh.
But Fair.

I dont like the level of Geekness your getting to lately. Although Running a unix shell in Mac is just crap compared to the real thing.
