hi, i just got myself a mac book and don't know much about its unix.
first of all, i would really like to know if there is a repository like redhat so i can do "yum" to search and install the repository packages.
when i do "uname" it is Darwins
i tried to download vnc... should i download the linux one or the unix one?
thanks much.
Mac/Darwin is a modified FreeBSD, not linux. I hope that helps you some -- I would start looking at BSD options.
