Mac Osx Unleashed. 2nd Edition

Mac OS X Unleashed gives the reader a complete picture of Apple's powerful operating system. Topics range from mastering the built-in core applications to unleashing the power of shell scripting and NetInfo. New users are made to feel at home as they explore Finder, Dock, and the myriad of available third-party applications. Advanced readers can find step-by-step instructions on compiling Unix applications, configuring secure Web, FTP, and mail servers, and even setting up their own iTunes-compatible Internet radio station. Never before has there been an operating system that embraces open-source technologies as elegantly, while providing a user interface that is as friendly as it is capable. This book treats both faces of Mac OS X with equality-from the command line to the desktop, all the information you need is at your fingertips.
