China has ordered 200 MILLION copies of Linux from Sun Microsystems. http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml;jsessionid=BG1TIDS3ENNQWCRBAELCFEY?type=technologyNews&storyID=3850951 http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A56307-2003Nov18.html...

I read an article by Rob Enderle last night that I thought I'd share. How Windows and the Mac can compete against Windows (Longhorn) I'm not usually a fan of Enderle's stuff, but I have to admit that he's usually right. This was probably one of the most fair (to everyone) pieces I've...

Is it possible to run a virtual machine in OS X that allows me to install another PPC operating system such as a Linux/PPC distro? I'm spoiled by VMWare for Windows.

I installed Yellow dog linux on my 12' powerbook 867. Installation went fine but when I reboot, my machine starts booting to linux it does something and screen shows a bit like open firmware and then it just shuts down. This all happens like in 4 seconds. So I can't boot in to Linux. Booting to...

If America's attention span is really this bad, what is next... Around 6 months ago Dell started some ads with two IT guys. The guys in the ads would say something, and text would pop up showing "what they are really thinking". I can't find an example on the web, but here's one.. "Haven't...

Hi the list, Great!! I've just acquired an ibook with jaguar on it. Elsewhere I have a linux mandrake 9.1 with 2 ethernet cards, one (eth0) for internet and the other (eth1) for my local network. My mdk9.1 runs quite well with an ssh server on wich I can connect from internet or...

i have two reasons, one is that i find it interesting and something that is worth knowing two i have a project for school where i cant find any software for it and i know there is for linux so my question is what would you tell someone who was going to try and install linux on their...

Had an Irix-based 100Gb server until not too long ago, migrated to .9Tb Linux-based device. Initially chose EXT3 file system but am having user complaints from those (9 users) still on OS9 who access Linux server via AppleTalk. My Jaguar G4 uses NFS & I have less problems, but want to...

I have an external firewire drive that I formatted from OS X using the UFS format. I'm at home now, away from the mac, and I can't access the drive from linux. Can someone PLEASE tell me how to access a UFS drive from Redhat 9? I'm desperate! Thanks!!! Tim

I got conflicting reports, on wether or not, the power book 520c can run Linux, can anyone clear this up?

I would like to backup my whole macosx 10.2.6 so I can reinstall the system. The problem: using apples backup allows me to choose a volume. I have a 500gb linux fileserver around, but when I tried, I got file-errors. Some files have a too long name and can't be copied. How can I skip or fix...

A friend of mine who is very experienced with Linux and various forms of UNIX asked me to run a speed test via the Terminal app. He said that his laptop (running Linux) executed the following command in 48 seconds: time awk 'BEGIN {for(i=0;i<10000;i++)for(j=0;j<10000;j++);}' On my...

Anybody give me a good version of linux to download and burn on a CD on this windows piece of s**t and can install on my eMac. I just fancy mucking about with it on spare partition for a while. I really just want to download it burn it and install it with as little crap as possible involved...

How is that done? I've tried nfs://x.x.x.x/exported_system in the finder but the response is that there are no file systems available. From other linux boxes it works fine. Thanks for any reply

First off, a bit of my history. I grew up with a mac, and was a diehard mac addict. when i went into developement however, job requirements ment switching to windows, which i have alwas hated. about a year ago, i converted to the awsome power of linux, and am still loving it. Now, a friend...

I assumed that the only OS you could run on a Mac was OS X but apparently not. Although there are less PPC compiles, it appears that there are people who run Linux and OS X on the same machine (I particularly like the look of Mac On Linux). So I'm wondering what you're thoughts are on Linux...

Now, while I know this is really an OS X board, I'm a firm believer of keeping up and using multiple server technologies to keep on or even ahead of the curve. After all, a "know thine enemy" mindset is no more appropriate than for us folks managing OS X servers to know exactly what the...

Hi @ all, on my 60 GB harddisk i have installed Mac OS X. I have some free space for Linux (around 10 GB) Question 1: is there a solution for resizing HFS+ to make a dualboot with Linux? Question 2: is there software to run YDL in a window (like Mac On Linux... -> the opposite) kind...
