Can anybody recommend an advanced Tiger user guide, specifically targeted to Unix users?

    This looks pretty comprehensive, but before I read it, how different is the standard edition of Tiger from the server edition?

    You might want to add this to your Dashboard:

    This is a very cool widget. I was opening the terminal to do a man page search last night. This is much nicer.

    Darwin 8 is Darwin 8.



    Areas that are targeting specific Administration tools will obviously be missing from Tiger Workstation but I'm sure your background in UNIX will figure this out.



    I agree they should have published a series of Tiger UNIX PDFs for Workstation to alleviate any and all confusion.

    Are you looking to learn Unix on Tiger, or just for documentation on how Tiger handles it's *nix layer?

    Ah. In that case, you should hold off a little bit and pick up Learning Unix for Mac OS X Tiger when it comes out. I've heard good things about the prior edition, and I'm planning to pick up this one for myself.



    As an aside: Woo, 500th post!
