linux

Not sure if this belongs in news and rumors or here (or anywhere?), but I saw this article stating that MS security holes are on the decline while Linux and OS are on the rise (sort of). http://www.newsfactor.com/perl/story/19996.html I am not savvy enough to even have an opinion on this...

I'm trying to install Yellow Dog Linux (i've got the CD all ready, and all that stuff), but I'm stuck on the partitions... I am currently running just a 40GB in my iMac. Its partitioned for both OS9 and OS X, right out of the box. How can I create another partition so I can safely install Linux...

I'm having a bas%?#@ of a time attempting to configure a linux samba share point so that my os x powerbook can access it. I have a very simple crossover cable network between my linux box and laptop. I can ping from one to the other but I can't get samba working properly. Having wrestled with...

i installed ydl 2.3 on my computer, and i really like it. jaguar is still better in some respects (it certainly looks better), but I'm pretty happy with linux. heres how i think they stack up jaguar fonts, buttons, dragging looks nicer. file navigation actually seems faster (graphical...

just wondering if its posible to run linux apps on OSX, well the real reason im wondering is because i want to play UT 2003 and its only out for Win n Lnx so i just was thinking if there was a way to run the linux version of it on my mac.:confused:

It's called Phoenix www.mozilla.org/projects/phoenix It will not come out for OS X since it's pretty much the same as Chimera (Navigator). BUT.... there's two really cool things it has that Chimera doesn't! (Which I just noticed with a few minutes use) 1) It has a close box for tabs...

Hey all.. Is it possible to store the OS X Users/ directory on a Linux server? We've got a lab of mostly Win2k machines, but there are also 5 macs that we're ramping up to OS X (probably Jaguar). Ideally, I think we'd just like to keep a user's uid & pass, as well as pref's on there, but have...

Check this out ... Mac OS X is running on a Linux platform! No, I did not say Linux running on a Macintosh, I said OS X running on a Pee-Cee! http://maconlinux.net/

I'm setting up a 4400/200 PowerMac to be an MP3 server. For some odd reason, it won't boot from the hard drive, even though files are accessible from it when I boot from a CD. What I thought I'd do is burn a Linux distro onto a CD and use that to boot the computer and serve MP3s from it...

I have a PowerComputing Powerbase 200Mhz 603e with 112 Mb RAM that I want to put Linux on. What would be the easiest and best flavor of Linux to run on this machine?

Hi there ! I read yesterday that some Linux users switched to Mac OS X because they wanted a strong but useable Unix. Nowaday, there are some good distros like Redhat or SuSE, that are competitors to Mac OS X. Apple seems to target more the Linux Communauty than Windows OS. According...

Okay, I've just gotten into the whole UNIX/Linux scene a while ago. I'm just going to be a freshman in highschool, and the stupid persons there decided that windoze would be the way to go. anyhow, i know that Linux has lots of windows networking tools, and for that matter windows compatibility...

Has anybody successfully booted Red Hat Linux on Virtual PC? Every time I try to install it, after creating the disk image and putting in the CD, the installer won't allow me to partition the drive and says something like "cannot recognize partition hda, press ok to initialize (this will...

Is there a way that anyone knows of to run the counter-strike server for Linux on OS X? I've never seen the source code around, and I'm sure the precompiled binaries wouldn't work. It seems like it should be doable, but Google didn't reveal anyone talking about it. Anyone looked into this?

Well I know this isn't exactly the best place to put this but I was just wondering about applications for Linux. I hear so much about the great open source gurus and all but I have know idea where to go searching for them. So here is my request, if you would please list any *free* programs...

http://www.linuxworld.com/site-stories/2002/0724.macx.html It's a nice article, a good read and it has a link to a 'Defenestration Manual', which I think we should adapt to Macintosh needs. Want to start a project? My English isn't _that_ good, but I'd help.

I am giving a presentation for my local linux user group on OSX and I want to really show the unix side of OS X, I have a few ideas, but nothing too exciting... so what I am asking is for some suggestions on cool things that will impress hard core unix heads... THanks in advance....

So, why?

Please can anyone tell me how to recompile UNIX and Linux apps for OS X. I'd like to know exactly how to do this. Ta

Can anyone help me with how to exactly do that?! I have the Developer CD installed. Ta
