The XBMC Linux port is really nice. It might be time for that mini-itx project, especially after finding this: http://tinyurl.com/2w5lfg 4 days 7 hours ago

Missing *nix tools on OSX

Submitted by Herb on Tue, 03/04/2008 - 11:52

Every now and then I open a terminal in OSX and start typing, expecting to have certain tools at my disposal. Not always the case. The two most recent examples are wget and watch. Sure curl is there, but I want the set of utils that have always been there for me :)

One new discovery on my linux box this morning was the convmv tool that converts filename encodings. Wish I had known about this a few weeks ago when I was ripping my Sigur Ros cds to flac.
