In relative terms I’m a newbie to the Apple Mac world.  One of things I found hard to start off with is finding a guide to “must have apps”, which just make life easier.  As an example when installing a new version of Windows there are several applications that get downloaded and installed immediately like EditPlus, Deamon Tools and Putty, just because they make life easier.  One of the apps I was told to get was “Quicksilver”, which is very helpful.  Another application that I have come across is “SSH Tunnel Manager”.  This little app allows me to easily store all the different tunnels that I use for various reasons, without really having to mess around with command lines.  Not that I’m saying that doing things from the command line is bad, but if you have a nice simple tool that just allows you to press a button to create a tunnel and another button to close it down, why bother.  So if you create SSH tunnels from your Apple Mac then take a look at SSH Tunnel Manager.  You might also want to take a look at the other applications that the author has created.
