Having just got a new Mac from work and setting it up, your recommendations come at a great time :-) iTerm especially is a real plus - everything just works out of the box as you'd expect (well, if you're used to X :) like start/end line & copy/paste.

Pricey, but high quality. The keypress feel is very similar to the stock Dell keyboards. It takes some time to get used to a separated, movable keyboard, but it is super comfortable now. And the Mac shortcut keys are a big win! I can wholeheartedly recommend the Kinesis Freestyle for Mac. Pricey, but high quality. The keypress feel is very similar to the stock Dell keyboards.

I believe the problem has to do with a subtitle/64bit permissions issue. In any case, the fix is: sudo chmod a w /usr/X11/var/cache/fontconfig After running that, the next mkv takes about a minute to load, then every subsequent one loads instantly.
