Okay, I have to admit that I am *way* out of my league here. Before upgrading to X, the only unix I used was in school--and that's pretty much limited to Pine, Elm, Banners, ps, ls and that a few other toys.
The only programming course I had was the intro course. While I am currently learning Unix for X (the wonderful O'Reily book) and Pratical C (again, another cool O'Reily book), I am no where proficient enough with the system and programming to contribute to UQM. (As an aside, however, I did manage to install Fink and do some fiddling, but I digress).
Gettinig UQM to run on my own is the reason why I got the darn books in the first place, but right now I'm going to get the basics down. Which is a down right shame, since I've been waiting to play UQM since I saw it on my friends' 486 way back in 1998.
So, I'm going to keep reading the Forums and be a patient little Mac user. I've been waiting 5 years to play UQM, I can wait a wee bit longer.
To the rest o'my mac brothers and sisters, good luck on setting it up. I just know when I'm way out of my league.
Later.
