/usr/bin/apropos GCC is on your Leopard DVD. Just install the developer tools. Maybe apropos was also in there. Dunno. Personally, I am extremely happy with OS X 10.5 for my Java, C++ and Python development. Everything that I need is there. Great editors, Emacs, IntelliJ IDEA, all the usual open source tools through MacPorts. Leopard also has some clear advantages over Linux for me, like for example dtrace and it's visual cousin Instruments.app. Dtrace is one of those tools that you will miss sooooo much when you are putting your code in production on Linux. It will probably be the reason for me/us to move to OpenSolaris as a production platform. My only gripe is that Apple is slow slow slow with Java. I really hope they will let Sun and/or the community do Java 7 for OS X. It seems they abandoned that effort and put everybody on the iPhone or so.
