My two weeks in Brazil were awesome but I am also glad to be back. If you’re joining us for the first time, this site is all about using Unix (Terminal) on your Mac. If you need some background, start here:

• What is Unix?
• What is the Terminal?
• What is a shell?
• What is a Unix command?

I’m very excited for FreeMacUnix.com. I’m looking forward to having an outlet for discussing how Unix can make every Mac user more productive. I sincerely enjoy this.

Unfortunately for my baby, I’m taking a two week trip to Brazil. I’ll have only occasional access to email (I’m not taking my Powerbook) so I won’t be able to post on FMU until I return.

The first posts I’ve written have given some necessary background. Please join me at the beginning of October for more details on how Unix can make you a better Mac user. See you then.

I’m excited to launch FreeMacUnix, a website all about using Unix on a Mac. You may have noticed the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and wondered what it was. Through Terminal you can access the powerful Unix operating system that powers every Mac. On this blog I’ll teach you what Unix is, how to use it, and how Unix shortcuts can make your life easier. I’ll start at the very beginning — no prior knowledge required — so I hope you’ll join me!
