OS X

I have a MAC OS X Server and would like to be able to use "wget" command to download some file using Terminal. However, wget doesn't come with it. So, I checked on Google and found an article about using Curl as a replacement for wget. What you have to do is run command below in Terminal :

echo 'alias wget="curl -O"' >> ~/.bash_profile

Then, log out and login again. Now, you can use "wget" command to download file as you normally do. For example, I ran

wget http://pecl.php.net/get/APC-3.1.7.tgz

It will looks like this :

I just switched to OS X (Leopard) a few weeks ago and I still need to run a few Windows applications that I still couldn’t find anything comparable in MAC OS. Many choices are available for me starting from Bootcamp that I need to reboot every time I want to run Windows applications. Or try either VMWare Fusion or Parallels Desktop to run a virtual machine so that I don’t need to restart computer every time I need to run Windows Application.
