You know that there's FreeBSD hiding there, under OS X? I use the bash shell all the time, right on my Mac, without running any linux at all. In fact, I've got a terminal window opened SSH'ed into a client's server right now. You can find the "terminal" application under Applications/Utilities.
Also, google "Quicksilver". Best Mac application launcher (possibly among the best Mac applications!) out there. You could turn off your Dock for good, if you got hot with Quicksilver.
