For me, linux on the desktop makes perfect sense. I LOVE that I have the ability to tweak it however I want. That is definitely one thing I miss on OS X. No, there isn't an icon or a gui app for doing everything you want, I always have a shell window open. Of course I pretty much have terminal...

I run both. I have a Pentium 4 at work running Debian Linux. I've got a Pentium III 667 at home running Debian Linux. My wife's PC is an AMD Athlon 1.4ghz dual booting Windows 2000 and Debian Linux. And finally I've got my Apple iBook G3 500mhz running OS X. I would love to have an Apple that...

I will do one of two things... 1) Remove OS X and put Linux on my iBook. It runs faster than OS X. 2) Sell my iBook and buy a much faster Dell notebook and run Linux on it.

I need an iPod that costs less. $199 is the sweet spot for me on the 10gb.

I've got a linux box setup as an imap server and I'm connecting to it from my iBook. I've set up Mozilla, Mail.app, and even Evolution to connect to it with no problem. Here's my question: When I open Mail.app, it shows the entire directory for me on my linux box. How do I get it to show only...

i'm trying to connect to my linux box by its hostname Mulder from my iBook running OS X 10.1.5. I can connect to it by its ip address 192.168.0.100 but not by Mulder. I added the following line to /etc/hosts: 192.168.0.100 mulder But I noticed the /etc/hosts file says that this file is...

About PHP: I started using PHP several years ago. Its a great language for quick websites. The problem is it requires you to mix the code with html. In theory, your application should be split into 4 areas: user interface, presentation logic, business logic, and data. PHP makes it very...

You won't need the adapter for your iBook. The card will slide right inside your iBook. How much memory did you get? Get more. But buy from Crucial.com not Apple. Way less expensive. > I still vote for Apple hardware because the Apple software that integrates with it is the easiest and best...

FYI: I bought a D-Link wireless router for $157 online and it works great with my iBook. Remember, you don't have to buy everthing from Apple unless you don't mind spending a lot more money.

It costs way too much. I bought a D-Link wireless router for $157 from buy.com. It works great with my iBook. Plus my two PC's connect to it by ethernet at speeds of 100mb/s. I'm waiting for 802.11a to come down to the prices of 802.11b. Speeds would go from 11mb/s to 54mb/s.

Think how many they would sell then.

I saw a post last week I think on Slashdot that Microsoft was lobbying the Pentagon to stop using open source software like Linux because its not as secure as Windows. After I picked myself up from the floor because I was laughing so hard, I realized that Microsoft must be really worried...

I recently bought an iBook G3 500mhz. It was my first Apple product. I love this laptop but I am a little disappointed in the performance. I run linux at home and at work. I've got an Athlon 1.4ghz pc and an Intel PIII 667mhz machines at home and a Pentium 4 1.6ghz pc at work. All three run...

The Xbox is far superior in technology to PS2. Here's the facts: XBox : 733-mhz Intel processor, 233-mhz Nvidia graphics accelerator, built-in ethernet PS2 : 300-mhz Sony processor, 150-mhz graphics accelerator, optional ethernet connector available this summer. The PS2 does have, in...

It's one thing to talk if you can back it up, but I don't see it from macs. Their processors don't come close to the performance of Intel and AMD. To Jacko: Your little brother's Athlon machine obviously doesn't have enough fans in it. You do need fans to keep those chips cool. I just...

I'm getting ready to split my hard drive up on my iBook2 G3 500 so I can dual boot between OS X and Linux. I've got a 15 GB hard drive that has two partitions currently on it. What is the 720 MB partition and can I safely delete it?

I bought my iBook last month after reading that Apple and Circuit City were parting ways. I went to 3 different Circuit City's on a Saturday. One store had a G3 500mhz and they would sell it to me for $1000. One store didn't have any left and the last store had a G3 600mhz that they would sell...

Why buy an inferior product? I'd rather buy the CD and then burn it myself. Plus I don't burn to mp3 anyway. Why support another proprietary format? Proprietary formats are ways to insure extortion from you. Why is Office the defacto standard? Because of the "doc" format that they keep secret...

Due to all the rediculous software patents out there, GIMP won't have many of the features that Photoshop has for another 10 to 15 years due to patents on the color manipulation and such. You can blame this on our totally incompetent US Patent Office which will patent pretty much anything.

I've got a Windows 95 app I want to run on my iBook. I've looked into emulation software and Virtual PC is just too expensive. I found Blue Label PowerEmulator. Their software is only $35 since it doesn't come with an OS, but they don't have a trial version of it. I don't want to give them my...
