OS X fun yesterday.  Installed a full version of the PHP Apache Module, the BASH shell, and XEMACS.  The only one I wasn't happy with in the end was XEMACS, which I used to use all of the time on a Solaris box.  The Mac version is completely different (or I hosed the install), barren of menu features, and it has this annoying default behavior which drove me crazy: it treats "~/" as the homedir of the XEMACS app and not of the current user.  huh?  Not quite up to needing or wanting to install xWindows yet, but there are good choices for those of you who just have to have the xeyes on your desktop.  BTW, if you are new to the whole OS X unix world and want some help, check out the tutorials over at Macosx.org.
