Yup -- my impression is that Apple don't support headless macOS as such, = but that you can pretty much look after a macOS box that way. > On the Mac the file system names are case > sensitive with liberal use of blanks. Are you sure, in a standard install? On my machine % ls /uSeRs Shared/ norman/ so that's case-insensitive. Of course tab-completion won't work in the s= hell, if you don't start the filename with its 'correct' case. Thus /u won't work, only /U, but that's different. > In my experience I have seen no > difference between Mac tar and FreeBSD. Indeed. My understanding is that the macOS userland is very heavily base= d on the FreeBSD userland, with judicious exceptions so that, for example= , 'make' is GNU make, rather than pmake. Also that significant parts of = the Darwin kernel overlap with the FreeBSD one. But although I've seen v= arious remarks on-list that 'yes, Apple and the FreeBSD project are frien= ds', I've never been able to find a document which discusses the relation= ship -- project and code -- in any detail.
