For a Linux user migrating to Macbook, the linux apps are very important. The biggest ones are vim, ctags, cscope.
Good news is that there is an opensource project "Macports" that has ported many of the Linux apps to Macbook and installing them is so easy. If you are familiar with installing apps on Ubuntu using command line then this thing shouldn' t be so easy.
MacPorts Project: http://goo.gl/7XwBe
From command line "sudo port install ", thatz it. The app gets installed for you.
Prerequisite for Macport is XCode that needs to be installed from the Market. The worst part is that it is 4GB in size.
After this you are done. Ready to install almost all the Linux app onto Macbook.
BUILDING ANDROID FOR LION
With LION update the Android source build is broken. I had a tough time getting XCode 3.2.6 and following the instructions @ http://goo.gl/W9eqp for setting up LION to build Android source.
Well atleast there is a solution till Google decides to fix it which will definitely be happening with ICS release.
Why do I say that? Since I have found most of the Google employees using Macbook Pro and obviously they should be having a solution for this.
