It's worth installing the developer tools from Apple. Also, you'll probably want to install MacPorts, which is a package management system similar to what you are used to on Linux.
- PureSin 16y agoI'm also getting a macbook Pro soon (coming from Windows/Ubuntu background). Looking forward to trying TextMate and comparing that with Eclipse (or maybe it will replace Notepad++ as a quick all purpose edit tool). Most of all looking forward to Garage Band! Note: Also switching from an Android phone to the iPhone 4. Anyway heads up/ awesome app suggestions?
- jawngee 16y agoEclipse runs on osx, you just need to edit the keyboard shortcuts otherwise you will be very frustrated. Re: iPhone 4, jailbroken? I can't live without a jailbroken iPhone fwiw.
- tkaemming 16y agoHomebrew is another popular alternative to MacPorts that you may be interested in looking at: https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew

- swalberg 16y ago+1 on iTerm. It supports 256 colour mode so if you're using a custom vi theme like Zenburn, it'll actually work. BTW, alt-tab (er, command-tab) still switches between applications, but not between different instances of an application. For that, you want command-` It took me several months of using the mouse to stumble across that one.
- st3fan 16y agoExpandrive is nice but Transmit 4 does the same for less money and is also a complete and powerful ftp/sftp client
