My Powerbook has been running Mac OS X with Debian for a while now, and two weeks ago, I got rid of OS X and am now running Debian only with GNOME as my GUI. The reasons I run Linux on my Powerbook instead of OS X: Most of the applications I use are running in X11. Since I spent more time in...

:confused: OK, so my x86 at work needed a facelift, so I formatted it, cleared all partitions into a major one and there I was with thw windows disk at hand, when I decided to just load linux on it :p I loaded Suse with the greek environment. My UID and Pass are in latin characters. When I...

I'd like to set up some sort of file sharing facility to keep my notes and classwork, among other things, synced between my iBook and G5 workstation.

Hello I wasn't sure where to ask this. I was wondering what Linux os can run on a mac but from an external firewire drive. If any. Thanks

I recently bought a 200 GB drive on which to put a minimal install of Linux (namely, Gentoo). I want to be able to do two things: 1. I want to be able to go between OS X and Linux easily. How do you boot Linux from OS X, and how do you boot OS X from Linux? I suppose on the OS X side, the...

Hi all, I'm considering running Debian on my G4 1GHz ibook but have some questions: 1) To what extent does sleep work? 2) I have a external belkin bluetooth adapter that works with my one-button Apple mouse, which I enjoy using. Is this combination supported under Linux? I understand...

At my home I use my OS X desktop 99% of the time but have a couple of laptops running W2k as well on WIFI. I don't have OS X server but am seeking to achieve the following: 1) Sharing volumes/folders across the local network. 2) Some kind of LDAP/etc. solution for my address book on the PCs...

Here's my dilemma: I want to access the TeamSpeak network from my Mac. Unfortunately the rotten swines haven't made an OS X client. I have tried running the PC client under an Windows emulator, but that didn't work. I expect the same problems trying to run a Linux emulator – quite apart from...

I'm (finally) going to be setting up a full-time web server to manage web, MySQL and maybe in time some mail and DNS. I'm having a heck of a time choosing a linux flavour ! Can someone list, or link, the main differences, pro/con, and whatever other useful (but succinct) information I...

I was just wondering if there is a way to manipulate windows in a Red Hat Linux way? What I mean is when you have a screen full of windows, in Linux you can move a window to the background by alt clicking the title bar, and you can bring it to the front by alt clicking anywhere in the window...

Hi all, I am an anime fansubber who unfortunately uses a mac in a windows software dominated world. I was wondering if there was anyone out there who is interested in taking a stab at helping me port over a subtitle timing application. Source code is here: http://www.sabbu.com I would...

There's a new Debian based distro that supports PPC! It's called Ubuntu Linux http://www.ubuntulinux.org/ It looks very uptodate. I think I might even check it out, but first I'll test it on my PC.

There's an article here (http://osdir.com/Article1581.phtml) that describes Kompose, and Expose like feature that will soon be in KDE. It looks like these guys are copying Apple, but don't really do a good job of it. From the screen shots, it seems that only screenshots of running apps are...

There are several ways to install software on Linux on Mac hardware. In my case I'd like to update OOo and I have two ways: yum OOo install My question is: how do both installers cooperate ? If I try to update my current OOo 1.0.2 with yum, it doesn't find it. If I try to install with...

All I have to say is that it's about time!!! After so many years of Mandrake dragging it's feet with Linux PPC development, it looks as though the next version of MDK (10.1) will have an up-to-date version. Mind you, it's a dev version and it's alpha, but it's a start. :D Follow this...

I'm interested in running Open Office on my iBook. I'm a "native" windows user, and I'm rather frustrated with MS Word 2004 so unbelievably slow, and after trying various other word processors for the Mac, I'm thoroughly unimpressed. I've also tried installing X11 and that crashed on me shortly...
