I'm delaying medical treatment so I can play with either PC-BSD or FreeBSD (whichever download finishes first) in Vbox. :D

What's the fastest way to get to the shell in OSX? I want to play with bash on a Mac next time a customer has one, but I don't want to look like I'm trying to snoop.

A thought occurrs: if the Terminal application hasn't been restricted on school computers (unfortunately I imagine it is most of the time :(), then with all this knowledge I've amassed from using Linux (okay, so maybe it's not that much :p), I could work me some command-line-fu on a Mac there. :D

Not the "hack in and change grade records" kind of command-line-fu, I'm not that stupid. I'd mainly just poke around and see which (safe) commands work and which ones don't.

Although I figure that even if I wasn't doing an rm -rf /, the teacher and/or other students would be looking at me funny...

Yeah it's just for comparison's sake that I want to play with it. I don't own a Mac and have no real interest in paying for one. Mostly I'm just typing this because it's the only thing I know how to do in PC-BSD which I've just installed in Vbox. I have to say that I am impressed with the newer Vbox. I have no idea how I feel about PC-BSD.

EDIT: I'm definitely realizing that I don't know squat about *BSD. I figured that the directory structure would at least be familiar. I'm also trying to figure out why I can't successfully ssh/fish/smb to my file server from the guest OS.

It's in /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.

The terminal in Mac feel a lot like gnome-terminal.

I guess the fastest way would be to go and click on the magnifier glass thing in the upper right corner (Its called spotlight) and type in 'ter' and press enter quickly.

Wondering why I have so many VMs in VirtualBox...

I guess I've become so bored that now I'm toying with OSes that I know virtually nothing about...

<- I'm even posting from one of those OSes... (OpenSolaris 2009.06)

One thing that I find odd is that Compiz is actually in the software repos for it...and it actually works. I've got it enabled as I type this.

I always got the impression that Solaris/OpenSolaris is more intended as a production/server OS...? :scratch:
