It's ok, Unix was running things before Linux was even in its diapers -) Something to keep in mind is that - while not at ALL limited to nor exclusively - when working in the command-line/under the hood in OS X, you're working with a variant of BSD Unix rather than Linux. One quick search turned up a recommendation for the following, written for the Raspberry Pi (so debian-based linux), Opens a new window If you're not familiar with bash (the default shell in OS X) then that's a good thing to learn, along with shell programming & python - both of which are particularly valuable as general Unix/Linux skills - along with ssh (connectivity, security nb keys). You've gotten from 'here to there' before, so your overall technical capacity & understanding will be a good footing to start from :-) It's a whole world unto itself with a LOT of options, but think of it this way: It's technology, and they are computers with an operating system.

Moving from a Microsoft environment to a purely Mac setup is a learning curve I wasn't particularly anticipating. Thank you so much everyone for the suggestions.

Apropos to this, please my update to that post again linked to just above: Set your desired configuration settings and convert them to a Profile and distribute them via Munki or ARD or your MDM of choice.
