[ale] Linux on an Apple iBook

[tfreeman at intel.digichem.net]

I haven't been agressive enough to fully explore the CLI of OS X. FWIW, I 
will expound. 

Basically, I have yet to find any CLI program that OS X will not support. 
Emacs is on the default install, Bash is available. X11 is available, 
although I haven't gotten it working (haven't tried). 

The one area where I'm largely confused on CLI capabilities on OS X is 
configuration, where Apple is attempting (and partially succeeding) to 
simplify configuration. Get the relevant O'Reilly book and start wading.

Hope this helps
