Key bindings

Annoying part of mac keyboard is that it's missing whole bunch of keys, namely "home", "end", "Page Up", "Page Down", etc. According to apple's support page. You just have to push combination of buttons to accomplish that.

• Home: Cmd-<
• End: Cmd->
• Page Up: Fn-^, in Terminal, Shift-Fn-^
• Page Down: Fn-v, in Terminal, Shift-Fn-v

Terminal

• Home: Shift-Fn-<
• End: Shift-Fn->
• Page Up: Shift-Fn-^
• Page Down: Shift-Fn-v
• Switch tab: Shift-Cmd-<, Shift-Cmd->

Ruby

Do not attempt to install Ruby 1.8.6 from macport. Even if you did, as some dude did, you won't be able to install gems afterwards, which requires ruby 1.8.7

Mysql

sudo port install mysql5 +server
sudo -u mysql mysql_install_db5
sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.mysql5.plist

When install mysql ruby gems, use this

sudo gem install mysql -- --with-mysql-include=/opt/local/include/mysql5 --with-mysql-lib=/opt/local/lib/mysql5 --with-mysql-config=/opt/local/lib/mysql5/bin/mysql_config

Gnome-Terminal

sudo port install gnome-terminal
sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.dbus.plist
launchctl load /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist

following instruction on gentoo site.

In Code Listing 1.8, had to emerge baselayout twice, since first time Gentoo/sbin/function.sh was missing.

emerge --oneshot --nodeps baselayout-prefix

In Code Listing 1.10, emerge patch before gawk, otherwise gawk complains missing file.
