This is a guide to figuring out the BSD Unix system and Mac-specific components that are making your life difficult and to help ease you into the Unix inside Mac OS X. The book includes such topics as: a quick overview of the Terminal application; understanding open directory (LDAP) and NetInfo; issues related to using the GNU C Compiler 9 GCC; library linking and porting Unix software; an overview of Mac OSX?s filesystem and startup processes; creating and installing packages using Fink; building the Darwin kernel; and running X Windows on top of Mac OS X. The book wraps up with a quick manpage-style reference to the "Missing Manual Pages" - commands that come with Mac OSX although there are no manpages.
