Notes on getting set up after a fresh install of OS X Yosemite.

Mac

Programs

Programs installed on Yosemite:

~~epic privacy browser~~
~~homebrew~~
~~OS X command line tools (installed with homebrew)~~
~~git~~
~~iterm2~~
~~cathode~~
~~python 3~~
~~python 2~~
~~quicksilver~~
~~macvim~~
~~vlc~~
~~tunnelblick~~

That's it for now. Gotta get moving. More later.

VPN

On the Mac, I use the Tunnelblick software to create new VPN connections.

For the VPN servers themselves, I like VPNBook because it's free, it works on iPhone/Linux/Mac, and it's very, very easy. Instructions: http://www.vpnbook.com/freevpn

Homebrew

Things to install with homebrew:

~~openssl~~
~~GPG~~

Pip Install

All the pip stuff.

Dotfiles

Yargwid.

Linux

I wanted to make a Dual Boot of Kali Linux on OS X. This required setting up a couple of things.

Partition Disk

The first thing I did was to partition my disk. I split my 250 GB hard drive into a 100 GB portion for Mac, 100 GB portion for Linux, and a 50 GB portion that is shared between the two.

Install rEFInd

Ran this

$ curl -s -L http://sourceforge.net/projects/refind/files/0.8.3/refind-bin-0.8.3.zip -o refind.zip
$ unzip refind.zip
$ cd refind-bin*

Reboot

Once you install rEFInd, reboot. You should see the rEFInd menu, with your lone Apple operating system:

Now we're ready to install Linux from a jump drive.
