[help] OS X help for new Apple user

OK, I broke down and finally bought an iBook. Couldnt stand it any longer and just had to have one. Now I have been a PC user for about 7 years and using linux for just as long. So all of my resources on the web are for those operating systems.

Can any of you point out some good mac sites where I can go to get info on all the OS X happenings and in-outs and so forth?? So far I managed to map a drive to my XP machine and import my thunderbird mail into Apple Mail. Thats about it.

Any suggestions on apps that I should be using, freeware/shareware stuff that is a must have??

Thanks in advance!!

This thread at macthemes is good to know which apps to DL in order to customize your mac

@ pwnzrzpat - stop acting like a mod cause you're not. If you want to help, don't be arrogant.

Consider this an official warning. You’ve been banned from MacThemes, something like that might happen here is you continue acting like this.
