OSX wha?
Having a native UNIX terminal and commands is amazing for those of us that work on servers. Single biggest reason I want to try it out at home. I want to run traceroute dammit, not tracert! Putty is ok, but its slow compared to a native terminal.

True dat. My dlink dns-323 NAS started locking me out of files via windows at a UNIX level, so my man Schmucky used PUTTY to get at the file system at the unix command level. really cool--but yeah, slow.

yeah i totally didnt know osx was unix-based. my *nix skills are extremely rusty... i guess they are almost non-existent.
i need a good ftp client for osx 10.5.6. and recommendations? i use flashfxp in windows so i would like something similar.

I had no idea either until a couple of months ago, after some use.
A FTP client? No. I know Finder handles FTP natively like Explorer in windows. Otherwise I just use FireFTP with firefox. Its not amazing, but it gets the job done for when I'm testing FTP accounts.

OSX can read NTFS by default.

im thinking this could be a cool setup for older ppl that dont wanna fidget with settings and random windows questions.. prolly works faster too since theres less installed
