3. UMSL has recently upgraded from (what is now known as “Classic” Mac) OS 9, to OS X (specifically 10.2). So what is the difference, and why did we switch? OS X • Based on a UNIX Varient called “Free BSD” • Faster • More stable • More secure • We now only support 2 platforms. • OS 9 • Based on Apple's own proprietary core • Applications are only compatible with OS X via emulation

4. So why teach Macintosh and UNIX in the same course? Macintosh is based on UNIX. An understanding of UNIX brings a better understanding of the Macintosh's. The new G5's have replaced the old Sun Sparc machines – this is the new main way to access our UNIX servers. Macintosh UNIX

9. There are some very important distinctions to make when dealing with our UNIX servers on the Macs: The Macs are not our UNIX servers! When you log into a UNIX server, your Admiral files are on a seperate machine – not on the Mac. Local files are on the Mac, not on the server. Printing files on the UNIX servers and printing them on the Macs are done in different ways. A Word of Warning
