I entered the world of Apple hardware about 3 months ago now, with a second-hand iBook2. It was a 500mHz, 256mb, ATI Rage 128 model, with a standard CD-Rom drive. I spent the first few days trying to tweak Mac OS X to my liking, then a few further weeks installing and learning to use the applications I thought I'd need. Chimera, BBEdit, the developer tools, even the Fink X server so I could use Gaim.

You have several options if you want to run X Windows on mac OS X. You run it rootless via Xdarwin or Apple's X11/ You can also run it full screen with Xdarwin and use a key combo to switch back and forth between Aqua and your window manager. This is what I prefer.
You can slo boot in console mode and run an X Windows enviroment, without aqua, etc, if you want that Unix-y experience.
