    I'm wondering i saw some where that you can get Linux Software to work with Mac OSX does, i take it that you must Comple them to suit Mac, with their Source Code,

    I have Suse, BackTrack, RedHat all on VMware and now since my Vmware NAT function stopped. i now cant get onto the Internet with Either Linux OS or my Win xp.

    So i need a few things off Redhat to work with my Mac.
    i have Xcode 4.

    I haven't used a lot of graphical linux programs on OSX so I can't comment how well this would work for those. But have you tried using MacPorts?

    MacPorts or NetBSD pkgsrc are your friend. Real package managers rock.
