→ When installing OS X (Tiger), include XDarwin. → After the install, install the Development Tools from the OS X DVD. → Then set firewall and printers. → Scientific applications: Wolfram Mathematica, MathWorks Matlab. → Adobe Acrobat, Illustrator, Photoshop Elements (if you have bought them). → Other commercial software: Microsoft Office (little trick here: Office needs to be able to write to Documents/Microsoft User Data), Cisco VPN3000. → FireFox. → Editing: TeXshop → MindLube (points to OpenDarwin), Carbon Emacs (good), Emacs On Aqua (currently my choice, needs Python mode and ansi-color), AquaMacs (ambitious but confusing). |
