Panther Progress



I got Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) a couple of weeks ago, and so far things seem to be working OK (other than the notorious Nov. 4 Security Update--turns out the installer kept crashing because I already had another program on my HD containing the word "Terminal" [an "Open Terminal Here" AppleScript]). One of the nice things is having X11 (now I can compile via fink such CLI programs as cadaver and lame that have ridiculous X11 dependencies). I still don't have the 2 X11 "biggies" yet--GIMP and OpenOffice. I do have ImageMagick (official binary), vim (built via fink), gftp (ditto) and xabacus (built manually using Ernie Rothman's instructions). Now if I could just find a "X11 for Dummies" book...
