OS X Rocks, but it sucks too

OS X is awesome ~ it's beautiful to look at and it's based on Unix. What more could you ask for? Windows XP looks good, RedHat 9 doesn't. Windows XP with Cygwin is almost tollerable, but you still have to type "cd c:" when you want to change drives. What bugs me about OS X is simple *nix things don't work on it. Integrating Apache + Tomcat is a 5 minute job on WinXP and RH 9, but I've spent the at least 10 hours trying to do it on OS X with no luck. I could post the errors here, but what good would it do? This kind of stuff just works on RH 9 and WinXP. Therefore, OS X sucks!

What am I ranting for? No reason really - it just sucks that I've spent so much time trying to do something that still doesn't work. This HowTo didn't help either (building from source had errors, no binary of Apache available). I guess this is all due to the fact that OS X has a 1% (maybe 2%) market share among developers?

Comments are broken

Comments are broken on this site, I don't know why, but I'll turn them off until I fix them to curb your desires...

Update: Comments are fixed now - I was missing mail.jar and activation.jar from $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib. In other news, I think I discovered why this site is crashing. I'm only allowed to have a max of 20 MySQL connections from my ISP, and it appears that when you leave a comment, it opens a new database connection and doesn't close it (at least with twisty comments). Suffice to say, if you want to crash this site, leave a bunch of comments. ;-)
