Hi, in regards to the warning you got that is normal, it is just that the first machine doesn't "know" the other. Next time you connect you won't get the warning, unless something odd happens and your ssh key changes, don't worry about it. The second issue about the time it takes to connect...

Okay, it can be done, with mac ox X at least not sure about X.1 tho. have a look for something called Unsupported X. Benjamin ps I am going to get a copy of a modified OS X cd that will allow X installs on unsupported machines....
