[development] Drupal on OSX, anyone?

[Bill Fitzgerald]

Hello, Gary,

This might be slightly OT for the dev list, and a better fit for the 
support list --

Jon VanDyk has a great writeup on this here: 
http://www.sysarchitects.com/node/58

He also has a bunch of great mac-related content in general here:

IMO, you'd be better off with a LAMP stack.

Cheers,

Bill
