I considering switching from using linux as my main OS to using OSX. I have a few questions though.
Firstly, is OSX able to run programs compiled for linux? (By programs I don't mean aplications like Microsoft Office, I mean things like sshd/ls/ssh/dd and so on)
Second question, In linux you are able to set up partitions on a drive to mount to system directories, eg, you create a partition and set the mount point to /home, so when linux goes to save files to your home directory, it saves to the partition that mounts to /home, rather than the (root) partition all the OS files are in. My question, is it possible to do this in OSX? If so, how?
Thirdly, I have herd that OSX can't write NTFS in finder and so on, is there a way around this, is it even true?
Finally, in linux, config files are stored in /etc, I know there is a /etc folder on OSX, but im not sure about how much it is used, could somebody enlighten me?
Thats it for now, thanks in advance
