How to avoid the Apple tax?

[Matthew Polashek]

I've meddled in both OSX and Linux for some time now.  The OSX  
command line level stuff is a little behind where a pure Linux or BSD  
distro might be.  Many of the executable commands you might be used  
to in Linux of BSD will either not be present of be older versions in  
OSX.

An argument could be made that OSX is more evil than Window$ because  
it isn't designed to run on non-apple hardware.
