Developers Tools

[Massimo Marino]

Apple simply decided that its users base was going to be mostly Mac 
people at the beginning hence not so many Unix/Linux switchers. Most 
Unix stuff is not on OS X installer disk, rather on the Developers 
Tools (free download).
This is the reason why Unix users on OS X do install right away the 
Developer Tools.

After that you end up with most - if not all - the common Unix tools, 
libs, and bin.

You have tcsh, sh, csh, and bash (which I am using now). gcc 2.92.5 and 
3.1 (default), cvs, etc etc

And - of course - Fink could not work if you do not have Developers 
Tools installed (compilers, libraries, etc)

Cheers
