I have been using Pine as my email program for several years. A year and half ago I switcher over to Mac OS X Mail, but still sometimes I need to use Pine. Thus it was good to find a posting on how to Use Pine to access .Mac email with IMAP and SSL. [Mac OS X Hints]

Comparing Apples and Penguins: "Moshe Bar at Byte.com has performed a careful and thorough side-by-side benchmark/comparison of OS X as a pure server (not desktop) environment by installing both OS X and the SuSE PowerPC Linux distribution on an XServe. Short story: OS X lost to Linux on every measurable count, but Moshe is still impressed, since OS X is so new while Linux has had a decade to tune its subsystems. To my knowledge, this is the first such test done with this degree of care." [Meerkat: An Open Wire Service] [Mac Net Journal]
