Scientific computing is typically carried out on computers equipped with the unix operating system . There are many varieties, or «flavors,» of unix, including Irix , Solaris , BSD , GNU/Linux and so on, each of which has its own peculiarities in terms of file system structure and occasionally command syntax, but they all tend to be quite similar and function according to the same principles. The flavor of unix on Apple computers running Mac OS X is called Darwin , and it is closely related to BSD, from which it has evolved. Unlike Cygwin , a unix emulator that can be grafted onto the Microsoft Windows operating system, Darwin is the fundamental core of the Mac OS X operating system. The whole of Mac OS X is thus a superset of unix; the Aqua graphical user interface (GUI) of OS X provides an aesthetically pleasing and functionally elegant mechanism by which the user can control the computer via the underlying unix operating system using mouse clicks in application windows rather than typing cryptic unix commands.

Hi Dan!
One of the better posts on cloning that I have seen. Should help many.
The only thing is that I would not use drive utilities from the
manufacturer. I would use Drive Image or Drive Copy to do the transfer. They
copy only the used sectors whereas, I believe, the utilities from the drive
manufacturers use file copy, hence they are slower.
