Hold down option as you launch Entourage next time. This will rebuild the database, making much of the disk access more effecient when it comes to sorting, viewing messages, renaming, deleting, etc. Turn off excessive fonts to speed up launch times and font menu display. Turn off text...

The migration is fairly painless to switch FTP servers to pure-ftpd (see the HOWTO forum for more details). It enambles FTP bandwidth throttling (globally for the server or on a group-based restriction). You could try throttled, but I have no experience with it, so I can't vouch for it whether...

EXAMPLES 'open /Volumes/Macintosh HD/foo.txt' opens the document in the default application for its type (as determined by LaunchServices). 'open /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Applications/' opens that directory in the Finder. 'open -a /Applications/TextEdit.app...

It does in OS X 10.2.x (It is what gives you the option in the Sharing System Preferences pane for "Windows File Sharing")

In the Terminal, you should first do a ditto -rsrc -V /Users/username /Volumes/path/to/newhome Then do as Xaq suggests. (This copies the user's home directory to its new location first, then you change the home directory setting in NetInfo.)

ftpchroot is broken in Jaguar. Search the forum forum to see the many threads on this issue. Or go to the end of this HOWTO article to see how to fix it: http://www.macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=12942 and...

No problems here with the same model router & 10.2.3. I have my machine configured with a manually asigned IP address. Are you getting DHCP'd by the router? If so, that is one potential problem source that you may want to test against. Try manually configuring your IP address and see if you...

You could merge Apple's settings into BroadbandOptimizer's startup script. But really, I don't think you will see any appreciable real-world speed. I just tested Apple's settings against BroadbandOptimizer's defaults and the results were very close. Using Broadband Report's test suite...

Thankfully we have Metallifizer (which i use as De-metallizer) and the Developer Tools, with which we can do some extensive resource hacking, beginning with the removal of the brushed metal texture. Both are free and readily available enough, but I agree that the metal appearance should either...

Are you sure the cleanDT script executable? chmod +x /Users/admin/Scripts/cleanDT Is that path readable or have you made your permissions more restrictive than the defaults? Have you tried it as just a #!/bin/sh script, rather than zsh? And does the target file of the rm have a sticky...

Okay, here is the definitive answer: Manually add the setting now: sudo ifconfig en0 mtu 1454 up To get it to stick after rebooting, add these two lines to the /Library/StartupItems/BroadbandOptimize/BroadbandOptimizer startup script: #change from default 1500 /sbin/ifconfig en0 mtu 1454...

I haven't made the leap to Apache 2, since Apple doesn't include it on the client version of OS X and it is only included in the Server version for 'evaluation purposes'. Apache 1.3.x is far more proven in the field, so I tend to think it is more reliable and is known to work well under OS X...

Try a free proxy server. You should be able to use it with your web browser with no additional software to install: http://www.magusnet.com/proxy.html

To make defragmenting safer you should create an AppleScript that does something like this: do shell script 'sudo /usr/sbin/diskutil disableJournal /' with administrator privileges launch application "Drive 10" Save it as a compiled script named LaunchDrive10, copy & paste Drive 10's icon to...

It should be the same as in the client version. See this thread: http://www.macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=24239
