xdm would be a client on your BSD Box, you don't have to run it on your Mac.

X11 is a protocol for running Graphical Programs over the Network. X11.app is Apples implementation, which is much better than any other implementation for MacOS X. The X Server is what actually displays the program, while the X Client is the Program itself. X11.app is an X Server, GIMP is...

xdm is a Login manager. You do not need a Login Manager in MacOS X since the System works better than any third-party Login manager would ever work with OS X. If you wish to use multiple Desktop environments with MacOS X, try Customizing the Applications Menu of X11.app

Thanks Bob and Sam, I'll have to wait until they're available in Australia, and then see if my Financier will give me a discount if I Downgrade my AirPort Extreme Basestation to an AirPort Express. I don't use the NAT features, and It's only to accommodate my iBook, so a full AirPort Extreme...

Microsoft haven't found a way around the problem either. Most DVD Readers come with software like WinDVD which can integrate with the Windows Media Player, providing DVD Decoding capabilities. Windows XP, without 3rd-Party Decoding Software cannot Play DVDs natively. That is the problem. Most...

I recommend going to http://www.gimp.org/macintosh/ for more information. I have GIMP.app installed, and it was quite Painless to install. I have it running with Apples X11.app, and have no problems. Not as Elegant as PhotoShop or Corel Painter, but at least it doesn't use Carbon. (I don't like...

if .bashrc isn't in your Home Folder, create a new file. If you don't know what the hell you're doing in vim or emacs, try pico. Another simpler single command which would work would beecho "PATH=\"\$[PATH]:/usr/local/bin\"" >> ~/.bashrc which will append (>>) the string...

I currently have a NetComm NB3300 ADSL Router/Switch, and an extensive Network of Cat5 throughout the house, I use my AirPort Extreme Basestation as a Print-Server and basic Access Point for my iBook (I don't have Cat5 everywhere). What I'm wondering is could an Airport Express replace my...

We used to take a Stereo With us on Competition Hikes. We used to always play music with Brisk Beats, so we could hike faster. It also helped us ignore fatigue. On one occasion, we even used it to keep time, since no-one had a watch that worked. Back On Topic: I almost exclusively Buy my own...

Preferences > General > Show genre when browsing (checkbox) I'm curious how this turned Off to start with. It defaults to being On every time you update iTunes.

When Steve Jobs returned to Apple (with the purchase of NeXT), one of the first things he campaigned for was to kill the Clones. It is difficult to provide Support on a Computer you don't have the specifications for, so it was more expensive to service the Clones than what they were getting from...

Nice collection of Articles. Not to wussy, and not to dry. Anyone know wants to know more about OS X functionality should definitely visit your site.

According to Low End Mac, there are a few Processor upgrades available, but nothing which would improve the Bus Speed.

For every User who uses DVD Player, Apple have to pay royalties to Dolby. The simplest way for Apple to do this is to incorporate the Royalties into to cost of the Hardware. If you don't buy a Mac with a Built-In DVD Reader, you haven't paid royalties to Dolby, and therefore shouldn't be using...

According to Low End Mac from the SawTooth onwards, all G4's had AirPort and AGP. The Yikes! had neither AGP or Airport. So yes, if you have AGP, you should have AirPort too.

Yay! no more Vulnerabilities! :D

Since no-body has bought an AirPort Express yet, they probably haven't released the software yet. Give it time.

This is Unbeleiveably cool. I was just contemplating using Cat5 to transmit Analogue Audio to the stereos in my house. AirPort Express will solve that problem for me. Video would be cooler, but Audio Only is a step in the right direction. Video would also introduce other issues; mainly to do...

Not much use for us Skips yet, but it's a step in the right direction. It'll be interesting too see how much more European Music becomes Available, like Listed in a Previous Post of Mine.
