I have been up to my neck in tons of other stuff lately.

I have just switched to OSX and Linux and I am having to learn two new
OS,

Plus I am writing some training notes on Both OS.

Also having a struggle getting my TV card to work in Linux so this is
on the back burner,.

As soon as I get a chance I will get back to you ,

Thanks for your reply.

I gathered that. Noticed your questions covering lots of bits and pieces
with a certain "manic" quality.

With os x, if it's mostly gui stuff, it'll be a breeze. If it includes
the bsd underpinnings, then all the stuff you've been dealing with in this
group and with Debian will hold you in good stead.

One handy reference book (not fully comprehensive) but useful, is Unix
in a Nutshell. I don't really like the "nutshell" series myself, but this
has indexes of most of the main commands and states the differences for
these between GNU/Linux, OS X, Solaris and BSD. Another O'Reilly
publication.

Hope it pans out well. Don't forget to breathe.

I wasted years working with Bnayan Vines then Novell the Microsoft,

What a complete waste of time IMO as it is obvious that any desktop OS
worthy of the name wil be running some form of UNIX IMO in the near
future.

Obvious to who? comp.os.linux.advocacy and the associated madness
is ----> thataway.

Well Ive worked with OS2, LanServer, Lanmanager, Netware, Banyan Vines
all going the way of the dodo.

And of course Windows (almost cost me my sanity that OS did. Not
joking.)

All that time the UNIX guys were sniggering up their sleeves at me
wasting my time with these doomed and soon-to-be doomed OS.

Learning Maths is for ever. Once you know how to solve Newton's
equation
it is never going to stop being correct . Ever.

Unix/Unixclone are the closest we have to that in the OS world.

The Unix admin I worked beside 10 years ago can still use almost the
exact same skills he knew then and apply them to Debian for example.

I was busy trying to get Netware Connect to work on a Netware 4.1 File
and Print server. I could almost cry thinking about it now. I did
then.
