Yesterday I finally took time to play around with the Unix underbelly of OSX and did the following:
- Fired up the Apache server.
- Configured various access issues.
- Installed BBEdit tools to use it instead of vi.
- Turned on CGI – Perl, SSI and PHP support.
- Installed MySQL with ODBC and JDBC drivers.
- Installed Movable Type and PHPWiki.
Except for a couple of issues with some Perl modules I seem to be missing, everything went without a hitch, no reboot, nothing hanging or exploding. Almost fun to do.
During that time, Mark was having some problems with his MS box.

Mac OS X is absolutely fantastic. It can go wherever you want it to go. Glad to hear you’re on X :)
