Terminal iconI’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!

    This is gonna be great, I’ve been trying to fiddle around with the Terminal window (but very, very carefully), also looking forward to Unix!

    I’ve always wanted to be able to use Terminal! Thanks for doing this. As a switcher from being a Windows Power User, I’m looking forward to achieving that same sort of prowess on the Mac.

    Hi,
    I think it is amazing that you people have started on this effort.
    I would love to know more about this - like what sort of audience it is aimed at, how frequently I can visit this and hope to see updated stuff, whether I will be able to contribute with the small iota of Unix knowledge that I possess…

    Thanks..

    Finally, someone has done it! I’ve wanted to tinker around with terminal for a while, but beyond ftp and other really basic stuff, I’ve never been sure how to get started. Can’t wait!

    I’m a massive fan of FreeMacWare and I probably could not live without it. I have been using Terminal since I first got a mac. I know some tricks and commands for terminal and I’ve been ssh tunneling. I’ve always wanted know more about Unix to unleash its full power and now I can do that with FreeMacUnix!

    This is great! I’ve always wanted to use terminal and have been looking at the “man” things for a while. I love FreeMacWare!
