I'm doing my CCNA (and my head hurts) and I was curious, who uses what? Serial communications via the XServe's serial port (caveats apply) or a USB to Serial adapter is a very useful thing. You can, for instance, configure your Cisco routers via a console session. So the question is: What...

OK, so here's my problem. I'm faced with having to run our company's DNS. Not in itself a problem, I can do all the conf file editing in the terminal and stop and start named from there too. I've done it before and no doubt I'll do it again. But really, do I want to? No, not really. I'd much...

I've just been perusing the UK AppleStore (http://www.apple.com/uk/thestore) and I noticed the XServe G5s are now being offered with 16GB or RAM. Yes, you read that right, a humongous whopping 16GB! For those of you too stunned to do the maths that's 8x2GB modules. I may be being a bit slow...

OK, so here's my dilemma. I've been using Microsoft eMail clients for forever. At first Outlook Express under Mac OS 7, 8 and 9 and for about 4 years now, Entourage. I really, really want to move to Apple Mail, there are only 2 things that make me hesitate. Firstly, I have a truely HUGE...

A good morning to all you good people. I've been given an old Cisco 2950 at work as a part toy / part 'bit of a project'. Lucky me huh? There's only one problem, I have no idea how to connect to it. If I could just leap that hurdle then I'm sure I'll have fun bashing out the rest. The...

At the moment I use ssh in it's most basic form for logging onto another computer and working on it at the command line (my webserver etc.). All this is done on the LAN behind the firewall, so it's 'safe' to have ssh 'open' to the network. However, What I'd ideally like is to set up ssh on a...

Oh lordy! Another Fink problem, I have RTFM, what I could find that is, but I'm feeling old and blind... So just how DO you get gnome to start up under X11, I can get KDE to do it with this in my .xinitrc file: export KDEWM=/sw/bin/kwin <--No idea, something to do with initialising the KDE...

I don't suppose anyone could point me in the direction of a decent Open Source (read: 'Free'. 'Cos I'm cheap, you'll see the irony soon...) accounting package? I'm not really in need of anything as featureful as MYOB yet and would rather get a feel for the genre before splashing out cash. I'm...

Right. I'm sure this topic has been done over well and proper so forgive me if I'm just posting more of the same. My boss (as do I) uses Mac OS X 10.2.5 and has a hell of a time copying files on a Win2K server; Here's what happens. If he copies a file to the server then everything is fine...
