1.
Either remove Windows (a good thing to be rid of) or
partition your hard drive using a product such as Partition Magic
that allows both to co-exist.
2. Install
GNU/Linux. Here are a few useful websites. I have had
good luck with Ubuntu
linux. It is 100% free, very up to date, and I have
compiled versions of all the crystallographic software without any
problems.
3. Install
CCP4's binaries, use
a Debian or rpm package, or compile it manually (it works "out of the box"
with most linux distributions.)
4. Register for CNS
and install a Debian or rpm package, or compile it manually.
for solving crystal
or NMR structures.
5. Install Mosflm if you will
need to process X-ray images. (Also in CCP4).
6. Install a
molecular graphics program such as O or PyMol or coot
(these also work in windows, with different
executables).

1.
Upgrage to OS X, version 10.4.x.
2. Install
X-windows.
3. Install
Apple's free Developer Tools which includes a gcc 4.0
compiler.
4. Install
fink, a Debian-based unix package manager. This in turn
will allow you to install other useful things including the g77 3.4
Fortran compiler and potentially thousands of GNU and opensource
software unix programs.
5. Use fink to
install
crystallographic software according to these
directions.
