Well if you 100000% hate vi, try 'ed' (father of 'sed'). Line editors - 10000000000000000000000% hate them :)

Well I've found the 'dump' command which seems to have the same funcionality and format of solaris's 'ufsdump' command. The advantage over tar is that 'dump' support incremental backups. As far as backing up resource forks etc.. have you tried 'dd' it's not a recomended backup tool, but it...

I'm a sysadmin. Go vi. Better the devil you know...

I thought that the single button mouse was a symbol of the mac's simplicity and ease of use. If so, I doubt they'll adopt a 2 button mouse.

Make the dock so it isn't "always on top".

I also think the menu bar font should be changed. It's too big and too fuzzy. I would also like to be able to make the actual menu bar thinner. Can this be done?

I suspect that you have not set up any host lookup stuff (a different ballgame entirely!). Try to ping the IP address of "myhost" if successful try the rcp again: rcp myfile my.hosts.ip.address:/my/path Under OS X local nameserver stuff is handled by NetInfo (which I am yet to get my head...

It works fine for me. And I give it a thrashing.

The syntax is: rcp myfile host:/dir/to/copy/to Before this you have to set up host equivelence in /etc/hosts.equiv (to trust a remote host) or in $HOME/.rhosts (to trust a particular user on a host). For the hosts.equiv just list the host(s) eg: mymac g3po The hosts.equiv file trusts...

It was a bit of a nervous wait over the weekend, reading the post of punters who were having problems with X (mine was to arrive on monday). However, monday came, so did X. Most people seemed to have issuses when creating multiple slices etc... But I though that the Mac is all about...

UFS is optimised for speed, but will fragment over time (and there ain't much you can do about it). Well, so said the Solaris 8 Admin 1 tutor...

All I want to be able to do is telnet to a remote host, set the DISPLAY variable back and run a unix app and have it display on my screen. Has anyone got this working?
