For everything that Apple has done that is non-traditional UNIX, I am sure that they have a good reason. It might be traditional inside of Apple that they choose to do it this way, or it might even be that the performance is better using a standard HFS+ format than the SWAP format. Who knows...

The main problem with XP is that so many drivers are still unsupported. I think that it will take most of the 2000 drivers. The nice thing is that when you install XP, it installs everything for you if it has the drivers. In a sense, it is more like installing on a Mac than on a PC. It...

sounds good, but that is a SCSI RAID device meaning that it is at least $300+ for the card without the drives. Also, although LaCie has always been a very good company building external SCSI devices, I do not think that they have ever made a SCSI controller card, let alone an Ultra 160 RAID...

we better not ask that... I know that the number of leaked XP OS's are around by the 1000's. I know of at least 5 people that have a version of XP.

How would you like a brand new 733 quicksilver for $1359 or the iBook for $1105. Apple is offering students members of ADC a once-in-a-lifetime 20% discount. check it out http://developer.apple.com/students/discount

What I was meaning with this new post was a limited number of people that could post HOWTOs that people could use to refer to. Like the thread about VM. How to change your page size, and how to change your VM drive location. And like this new thread about RAID. Just a few people that...

Recently I recommended to a (completely PC user) freshman CS major that he should consider the iBook as his school machine. The price and features for this machine is really good, and the fact that it is running OSX makes it even more of a benefit to him. Following along in his C/C++ class...

two things for 10.1... 1) A minimum access user like in OS9 that would only have access to their HOME folder and the applications. OSX works fine as it is for a single disk system, but if you have a multiple disk system everything is deletable on the non-system disks unless you go through...

I see him on right now as an Active User. Write him a private message in case he does not see this post.

Personally, I feel that there are too many catagories for the threads. Take out about 5 or 6 and consolidate them with the others. For example: 1) Tips & Tricks can move in with Customization 2) "Upcoming Hardware/Software/3rd Party" combine into "New Technologies" 3) OSX Server &...

The orginal IDE raid manufacture is Promise. They have never made anything for the Mac that I am aware of, and it does not see that they even support UNIX. I guess that our only hope for a Hardware IDE RAID controller will come from Adaptec. We have an older Ultra Wide (40MB/S) raid drive...

welcome to the club, NeonMango. just for kicks, try out OmniWeb.

I just tried this at work yesterday. We have a Solaris Sun Server that we share 5 drives from. The way we mount them is through Aliases of the drive. Yesterday when I had OS X loaded (I like writing websites with OmniWeb's source editor), I needed to mount the network drive. So I double...

Windows 2000 is a NT based operating system which has protected files and folders like OS X does. You have to check in the preferences on your 2000 machine what settings you have allowed your "users". You have probably allowed your remote login user to read, write, and exucute files, but not...

Have you tried formatting the ZIP on the PC and just opening it on the mac? Disk Utility never supported ZIPs. The way your formatted them in OS 9 was to go to the "Special:Erase" menu, just like a floppy. Another option is the Iomega Zip Tools software, but that never was able to format in...

In the past, Apple has provided both options on the CD. You can choose a "clean install", or install over existing OS. I have a feeling that it will be the same for this one. I highly doubt that Apple would require a complete reinstall. I don't think that Apple has put any price on the...

My guess is that it will be the same CDs, but different packaging. No "Welcome to X" book and other goodies.

FrgMstr: there is another thread called "Quick math benchmark for you to run" that has the original C source code.
