If it is anything like any other Unix system, then you will have a special partition on your disk reserved for it - though I can't say for certain.

If they are warnings then it should be okay. On the other hand if they are errors then things might not work too well. The best thing to do is look at the errors and try to understand what they are saying - only by doing this can you work out whether they are critical or not. Another good thing...

The place you want to visit is http://www.mysql.com MySQL is frequently used to support web-servers that require back a database. The advantage that MySQL has is that it is free and it is OpenSource. The disadvantage is that if you don't know SQL then compared to FileMaker you are going to...

If your older Mac has TCP/IP support installed, then you could check the NFS server for the Mac. It is available at http://prozac.cwru.edu/jude/macnfs/Macnfsd.html A word of warning, the server has is not too user friendly, so you will have to play around with config files to get...

Apple is not a company to follow the rules. There are a lot of if's, and when you are talking about if's you are talking about unknowns. Sure Apple might make more money by dropping their hardware, but then again they could loose the one thing that makes a difference. Apple as they exist now is...

Oh, the guys responsible for VirtSpace these days is a company called NYRO ( http://www.nyro.com/ ). As said in my previous post, the software was written for NeXTStep/OpenStep, though they do provide, at a cost, a CD with the software and source-code for VirtSpace. You can read about the...

After doing a little bit of investigation I was told about two pieces of software that were written for NeXTStep. The first is Widescreen, which comes with source, and the second is Virtual space which you have to pay for. They are both available at Peanuts.org...

How well do games run on MacOS X? That is the games running in the classic environment and the games designed for MacOS X, such Quake 2 and Quake 3 test at: http://www.omnigroup.com/community/freeware/

Maybe you could write a script to do it.

If your printer is laser and supports postscript, then you should be able to use a generic driver.

Joliet is the extended file information used for Windows in ISO 9660, including such things as long filenames. RockRidge os the extended file information used for Unix in ISO 9660. Support for both of these would be useful.

Have you tried running or compiling it with debugging on. This would definetly help you work out why things aren't working as exepected. I haven't used samba in a bit so I can 't be too specific.

As JustDave mentioned optimization is usually the last step in software development. During the development phase software usually include was is known as 'Debugging code'. This code is there to give an indication to the developer where something went wrong (this is of no use to someone who...

If you know C/C++ then you are half-way there, if you don't then I advise you to get the basics under your belt. Next, looking at errors: ../include/ircaux.h:80: syntax error, found `+' ../include/ircaux.h:80: illegal function definition, found `)' It indicates what line the error...

Has anybody tested the classic environment of MacOS X with any games (great little beasts for pushing the limits). How do the famous Ambrosia games work out? I heard from one person that UnReal is pushing it, though I am not sure of the specs of the machine.

The Quake 2 I was mentioned was the one designed for MacOS X. Though, it is interesting to see how well it classic games are handled, as this will certainly be a selling point for some home users. I'll create a new thread for the issue of classic games.

Apple probably has an internal port of MacOS X (great way of testing code quality), but that is as far it the x86 version will go. Apple for reasons that are well known will not release an Intel version of MacOS X. Apple sells hardware and selling an x86 version of MacOS X would be like saying...

Has anyone managed to try out Quake 2 and Quake 3 on the beta release of MacOS X? The best way to test the OS is to see if apps designed for it work. The URL is: http://www.omnigroup.com/community/freeware/ I would be curious to know how well they perform.

As has been said by so many people: MacOS X is very unlikely to be ported to Intel. The reason for this being that Apple is a hardware manufacturer and the hardware is the only thing that actually differentiates Apple from Microsoft. IBM tried with OS/2, but when you are playing in MS's arena it...
