Book Overview:

In early 2001, Apple plans to release a new operating system called Mac OS X (pronounced ten ). The system software is based on technologies Apple acquired when it purchased NeXT software, Steve Jobs' former company. Mac OS X is built on Unix, so it will give Mac users the power, stability, and security of that modern OS. But it will use a revamped version of the Mac interface, so users will have an intuitive user interface on top of a high-powered Unix system. Mac OS X will also be tailored to work as a client for Apple's server software, Mac OS X Server, so Mac OS X will appeal to network administrators in schools and businesses. Mac OS X: Visual QuickStart Guide provides step-by-step instructions for learning Mac OS X, taking an easy, visual approach. Beginners and professionals moving up to this new version of the operating system, can quickly learn to use the features and capabilities of Mac OS X. Detailed explanations of how to install, set up, configure, and use the OS are covered, along with instructions on how to use many of the applications Apple that will ship with the new OS.
