[olug] The Joy of UNIX

Personally I like OS X.  I use that as my default OS on my IBook.  I
like the fact I can sit down at a Mac now and use the tools that I need
for my daily job in network troubleshooting.  I also enjoy getting in
and looking at what Apple has done with the OS.  
  I do have a 2 button mouse on my Mac.  VERY USEFUL!!  Couldn't have my
Mac without it.  Although, after learning what keys to press to get the
same functionality as a PC/Liunx mouse setup has made that easier as
well.  Don't own a Mac without spending the extra $20 for a mouse with
more than 1 button.  Won't save your life but will make it easier for us
right-clicking bunch.

My only real problem with osx, is the proplem I have always had with
mac's ,
and it is the use of one mouse button. I am simply too accustomed to
using 3
, and the extra mouse movement to get to what I am missing on the extra
mouse buttons is too hard to overcome ;-) any mac user have feedback on
that
comment? I did get a chance to play a bit with OSX, and I found myself
troubleshooting from a familiar shell... that was great!
