Here's a list of recommended software for OSX for those new to the OS. Not this is aimed at a core list of useful utilities, rather than a massive list, so keep additions that are useful to Redbrick folk who have just got a Mac.

General Software

[iTerm] - An alternative to the default terminal.app that comes with OSX [Fugu] - SCP client, to allow to upload files to Redbrick [Quicksilver] - For app launching. Like spotlight but better [Camino] - Mozilla based browser, tailor-made for OSX [VirtueDesktops] - For Multiple Desktops (Will not be needed once Leopard is released) [Adium] - A free instant messaging application for Mac OS X that can connect to AIM, MSN, Jabber, Yahoo, and more.

System Tools

[Parallels Desktop] - Software to allow you to run Windows and others OSes under OSX [Bootcamp] - Sets up a dual boot configuration with Windows or OSes
