Hello,
I am looking for recommendations for a used MAC system that I can
use to learn MACs. I have used Unix and Linux for the past 20 years,
but I'd like to understand a little more about how they work. I have
been looking at some used G4 and G5 systems, but not sure if these
will be lame ducks. I would like to kick around at the prompt level
to see how different it is from a normal Unix system , but I'd like to
learn some of the apps and gui stuff too so I don't look like an idiot
to friends. Any recommendations or help is welcomed. Thanks.
i'd suggest a refurbished intel based mac mini to get your feet wet.
apple has them from time to time for as little as $400ish. despite
nearly all software being universal and can run on either cpu, i
wouldn't bother with a powerpc mac at this point unless it was cheap.
