    gimp worth the hype?

    Does anyone know what's happening with Apple's proposed iPhoto? I really only need to do simple image editing, but won't install an X window server for GIMP alone.

    help setting NFS share...

    The command is something along the lines of: share -F nfs -o rw /path/to/share On the remote host you'll need to mount the share with mount: mount -F nfs nfs_host_name:/path/to/share /local/mount/point

    Dvd-rw

    I notice hp have a dvd-rw drive on the market. When are the Mac's going to include such a thing. Apple have always been on the bleeding edge ( firsts with usb, firewire, 802.11b, 1000BaseT, the list goes on ), so whene do you guys think we'll see dvd-rw Mac's??

    MS spying through Office v.X?

    I was reading a review in macworld uk and apparently there is something that always run (even with no office apps open) called Office Notifications. It sounds like it handles your email and instant message alerts. Maybe these ports have something to do with that??

    Changing swapfile location to separate disk in 10.1

    The link you provided runs the manual mount command from the /etc/rc file. It is a function of unix to mount file systems from the fstab. I'd use the method described by efoivx in this thread. It shows a better understanding of the unix subsystem.

    OS X Swap file

    Put the swap on the outside of the disk. This part of the disk spins faster than the inside, speeding up swapping :) Does 10.1 have something similar to the format utility in Solaris where you can define partitions by cylinder?

    I've just started learning perl as the site I'm at use it for (amont other things) a replacement for sed & awk. I'm really only familiar to shell scripting and awk and I'm picking it up quite quickly :) Go Perl!
