Well, I learned Unix by playing around with Linux back in 1995... I found it easy to move from there to SunOS (aka Solaris), then SCO Unix, then FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and finally to Mac OS X's Darwin. Once you know Unix, its easy to apply them to another Unix-like OS. What benefit do you get...

What about Quicktime Broadcaster ?? I haven't used it - but read about it extensively when setting up Darwin Streaming Server ... it may be able to do a lot more than what you are intending - but its free and should be able to get the job done. Just a suggestion.

Why would you want to run a 7 year old operating system? The official position on what you are proposing is "no, you cannot run Windows 2000 with bootcamp". However, the unofficial answer is that anything is possible. You can use the XP chain-loader within Bootcamp to boot a Windows 2000...

If you like getting your hands dirty and learning - dump linux. You very rarely learn anything when using Linux, except on how to use that specific distribution's software. If you want knowledge that will help you use any unix like os - such as Mac OS X - I'd get into something else. You...

I know this is nothing like what you are trying to look at - but I just thought I'd offer my two cents. 5 years ago i set out for a way to remotely monitor my home as well. I played with Linux solutions, Windows solutions - most of which I put together myself. In the end, I purchased myself...

Sorry for my late reply. I know that this was mentioned but here goes: FTP: - setup an FTP server on the Linux box. Make sure its configured properly with permissions et all. As mentioned, through finder it will be read-only. You can install a 3rd party app, or you can drop to the command...

You can get yourself a set top box and then stream to it using VLC if you so wish. The beauty of VLC is that you can run it in the background, and it can stream on demand. This means you turn on your TV, select your movie, and play it -- all using the remote on the TV - you don't have to go...

Thanks a lot - you saved me hours of trying to fix something that wasn't there. I too will send a bug report.

1. Go to www.hp.com 2. Click "Home & Home Office" 3. Under Computing (left side of screen), click on Desktops 4. Click on "High Performance" 5. Click on 'Pavilion d4790y series' 6. Click 'Customize' My Safari crashes. I've removed ALL plugins - nothing is in the plugin list. Yet it...

Run a Fix Permissions - this error is usually caused by permissions.

CUPS is an underlying technology. I've used CUPS with Linux originally (Common Unix Printing System) and later with OpenBSD. 1. Click on this link: http://127.0.0.1:631/ 2. Click on "Printers" in the top black bar 3. Click on "Add Printer" 4. Fill out fields, then click "Continue". For...

If you want to get really fancy - you can put any details that are 'changing' into iCal, and then have the alarm run the applescript which parses out the details from iCal, and operates ABDialer to dial the specific number, and hangup. Unfortunately, to automate a telephone via script is NOT...

There may be a better way of achieving what you are trying to do. Why do you not want to connect the Mac into the LAN? If you want the XServe to act as a firewalll between the Mac and the LAN ... OK - but if not, you're asking for a lot of headaches.

It sucks when you have to be away from your computers, yes. Truth is, it could be the logic board or the battery - so you'll have to send it in. This reason is why I purchase from an Authorized Apple reseller instead of Apple - they can usually bend over backwards for their loyal customers...

It sounds to me like its a battery issue. It could be a setting with pmset - or corrupt configuration - but I doubt it. An easy way to check that (after you've reset NVRAM) is to try booting off of your Mac OS X discs - does that work or does the same power issue happen? Same Power Issue =...

LOL I didn't know that :)

I use quicktime Pro - its the best for recording video in my mind since you can fine-tune all the codecs etc. EDIT: A solution that can record stills is iStopMotion as well - I love that prog

I just quit Dell - so I'll let you know how Dell handles it. You buy your PC - you spend an extra $200-$400 on a hardware warranty - complete care - the works. You go to connect to the internet, it doesn't work - so you call Dell. While it is true that certain agents will help you, their...

Are you using GD to link against PHP? Or for another project? I've had tests fail when everything else works - its usually because they update the source, change something, but forget to update the test to reflect the new change. Bus error is a Mac error that bugs me a lot. Every other Unix...

Do yourself a favor and download the latest Xcode. If you are programming in Cocoa (you really should be), and want some help - then check out http://www.cocoadev.com/ safari.oreilly.com is another (pay) resource for finding Mac OS X specific programming books (or programming books in general...
