linux

in linux I really like holding doen alt and right clicking anywhere inside a window to re-scale it, also by holding down alt and middle mouse clicking a window you can pan it around. This just save you having to find the title bar and clicking there... very nice. Just wondering if there is a way...

Hi everyone, This is a question for all you unix experts out there. I have 2 systems a mac osx laptop with a dvdr and a large 1tb file server running debian unstable. I cannot seem to get debian to burn dvds to an external burner so I wanted to burn backups of important parts of the tb file...

Trying to set up a Red Hat box to self-host. (We had an extra PC laying around, otherwise I'd have gone with OS X). Can't figure out how to connect to it for file sharing (from a Mac). Choosing the Finder's Connect to Server (command+K) and entering the Red Hat IP (smb://192.168.1.2)...

I got so fed up with windows, I decided one day, to trash everything and install Linux, in hopes it would be better (not hard to be better than Windows). Anyway, I jumped headlong into this Linux mess being an average OS X user with NO knowledge of UNIX commands or the like. So, not long after I...

I'm having problems, stemming from ignorance, on using `mount` to connect to my RedHat box. I have a folder /home/tank on my RH machine that I'd like to access from my iMac. I've heard that NFS is faster than Samba, so I'd like to use that; Samba is working well though so if I have to I can...

hi, i got linux and windows on my computer with a duel boot. i wanted to install mac os, and i wanted to know can i keep my linux and windows and also install mac?

1. Is it possible to use linux or unix programs in OSX. For ex. can you download .tar.gz files and install them on osx? 2. Is OSX really "based" on BSD or is there just access to a BSD/UNIX terminal? Thanks

hello, my printer is attached to my linux PC (IP address: 192.168.0.1) and my iBook (IP address: 192.168.0.2) is attached to my linux machine with the ethernet card. i added the PC's printer to my iBook with the command: lpadmin -p linux_printer -v ipp://192.168.0.1:631/printers/Printer...

Alright. I just installed linux on my old G3 B&W. I am really far away from the DSL router so i connect to it on my iMac using an Air Port card. i was playing around in my sharing preferences and remembered seeing that you could share you internet over Ethernet or Phone line. so i turned it...

I know you can run linux on a mac, but I was wonderin if anyone has ever partitioned their drive so one partition is OSX and the other is Linux. I was wondering if one, anyone has done this, two, if it worked, and three, if it would be a good idea for me to do it aswell. Thanks :p

Hi there... As you can see, this is my first post to this list. Well, here's my problem: I'm a long time linux engineer and Unix supporter and I recently got a contract to migrate about 40 g4 to MacOS X from MacOS 9 and also to develop a solution in which they would have file serving and...

I've never even seen Linux running but wouldn't mind getting a version to run on my mac, I have a couple of questions though: 1. Can you get free versions of Linux? 2. Can you install it and have dual boot so I can have a choice of both OS X and Linux? Thanks!

I've got a linux server running my websites etc and acting as a hub for my home network also, which also contains a winXP box. I can see the network on the mac and copy files to the server but I can't access the mac directly from the PC - it always asks me for a username and password. Where...

I work in a digital prepress that is dealing with an odd problem. When we are in OS X (10.3.3) and copy or save files to our Red Hat Linux server (Samba daemon) they become corrupt. Here's one scenario; the file's icon will change (a PDF becomes a font, making it unusable). Sometimes we will...

I love OS X, but I have been hearing some good things about Linux also. I have been wanting to try it out for a while now, but I don't know which distro is the best. I downloaded Red Hat Linux 9 (the first cd-638.1 mb). I'm not sure if this version is compatible with PPC processors, but I...

I work in an office with a few Macs on OS 9. My Mac is on OS X. We have a Linux based SMB server, which the OS 9 Macs use to share files. However, when I share files through that server, my files are unrecognizable to the OS 9 Macs, and vice versa. Also whenever I look at the files in my server...
