Thanks Russel!

I've gotten past the security problem!

There's options under Security & Privacy (and what can be 
downloaded):

O-MacApp Store
O-idetinified developers
@-Anywhere.

Though this (Anywhere) lowers the security of what to download.

I've been Recommended this OS. I can use Windows 7 as native too.

Mengu, I don't know Homebrew.
