I just saw this super cool virtual desktop manager for linux. I've heard that apple doesn't want to do virtual desktops because it's complicated for the user. Well, with a UI like this it might be easier. http://www.systemtoolbox.com/bard/3ddesktop/ Anyway, check out the screenshots...

I have a collection of files on a LINUX partition on a removable drive. It's a NON-DOS and NON-HFS+ partition. So the Mac does not know what to do with it and wants to format it. It mounts fine under Linux on a PC, and under Windows on the PC it's like it does not exist at all. I though...

Has anyone been able to install Linux apps other than GIMP on XDarwin / Mac OS X? I would particularly be interested in Corel WordPerfect for Linux / Unix which seems to be an XWindows application that does not necessarily rely on KDE or Gnome to be installed. Any help or install advice will...

OK, so I have a big huge useless Pismo Powerbook now. The story (in brief): I installed Yellow Dog Linux on my Powerbook, wiping the hard drive and starting from scratch. Worked just fine. Realizing I needed a second partition to reinstall OSX I booted from my OS9 CD and used the drive...

Read this article and get the word out. :) http://www.gamerspress.com/article.php?sid=1709 It's a really good read for everyone here, I guess. To describe it a little: It's the 'conversion' to Mac OS X from Linux, basically. It has been on apple.slashdot.org, but I haven't seen it...

Good day all. So, the other day I partitioned and formatted my iBooks 15gb drive. 10gb OS X 8.*gb Linux EXT2 250mb swap 25mb bootstrap (yeah..couldn't make it choose 1mb...) Anyway, boot strap didn't take. So, I can't boot to Linux. When I boot to the Mandrake CD, it halts after...

Hi guys, I was an WinXP user who moved to Mac OS X! I don't regret this, but I can't hide my problems I have concerning compatibilities. Well, I have a very nice WinXP Prof. Lan at home and Since Mac OS X is just working on Apple Hardware, I gonna keep it that way. The point is, that I...
