    Network Simulator

    I was wondering if anyone could point me to a good open source/free network simulator for OS X. I used to use the NetSim but it's Windows only and I have a PPC Mac. I searched around and couldn't find anything useful. Thanks!

    How can I install X11

    It is on the install disk- did you try looking at the disk with the OS loaded? Pop it in you machine and see if you can find it. I went through this not to long ago but don't remember how I did it exatcly. You can't download it from apple.com- it's just an update. Good luck.

    I made the switch, and don't think I will ever go back.

    I just spent an hour with my friends Dad trying to figure out why his PC keeps hanging. He turned to me in complete frustration and said, "Why is this happening?" I explained and think he will convert:)
