linux

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

I have been a Mac user for more than 10 years. I use Mac and window$ at the office. I spend 90% of my time on Mac (I find windows clumsy). I have not upgarded to Panther yet but saw it recently in a store. I liked the way you can have many windows open and then hit F9 to shrink everything in an...

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/bw/20040213/bs_bw/b3871118mz063 Apparently Linux now surpasses Mac OS in terms of market-share. I don't think this means anything major really, and since OS X is basically a *NIX variant, I think it's a good thing. But it is still interesting. -B

Does anybody know of any good apps to edit digital video on linux? - mike

This has been on my OS X 10.4 wish list for a while. Only a rumo[u]r at this stage, but certainly a highly strategic avenue for Apple to pursue. Article from Mac OS Rumors:

how would one do this? i am curious about linux, and i wanna give it a try.... not redhat, it reminds me of windows too much, but maybe that connectiva one, it looks a bit like os x :p Is there an emulator, an OS installment, or could i just run it thru unix?

I spent the best part of yesterday downloading the Yellow Dog Linux ISO's from their site. I've checked the images against the md5 checksum file and they're all fine. I've burnt ISO cd images 1 & 2 fine, but ISO cd image 3 simply will not burn under any circumstance. I've tried burning...

Hello I've set-up a Linux box as the main file and web server for our work. The SMB share works great (OS X has no problems connecting and sharing these Linux partitions... the same can't be said for the XP machine trying to share the SMB, but that's another story). However, one irritation...

I want to store the iLife packages on my SuSE Linux machine, but when I go to mount the DVD, it tells me it cannot figure out the filesystem and I don't know what filesystem this iLife DVD uses. I'm at work now or I would use my Mac to check the iLife DVD filesystem using Disk Utility. Can...

I'm curious about Linux and I'd like to get it running on my iBook. I've been looking at Gentoo [if you know a better one, let me know!] The problem is -- although there's instructions on how to re-partition the hard disk on my iBook in a nondestructive way [I don't want to have to wipe it...

We use a multi-user database program at our office, and are licensed for several concurrent users. We recently had to move the data file to a new server, one based in linux. We access the server through a smb address, but once we moved the data file to the new server, only one person can access...

I've got my mac set up with one partition for OS X and one for Gentoo. I access my OS X partition from within gentoo by using mount hfsplus /mnt/mac /dev/hda11 (i think it's eleven, whatever it is..) Anyway, once mounted I am able to see the directories of my OS X partition, but there is...

Here is what I am going to do. I currently have a windows xp box set-up running an ftp server to do my Retrospect backups to. This machine is also sharing an Epson Stylus Photo 785 EPX printer. I am running Panther and have set up this printer using Windows Printing and then choosing the...

Hello All, In my great switch I've inherited an almost useless old Performa 6400. Considering its limitations and my unwillinness to scrounge around on Ebay for software I thought this would make a great box to try Linux out on my Power PC. I know that it works and finally got it installed...
