    ssh, keys, and faiing host-key verification

    Also check the ~/.ssh/known_hosts file to see if the hosts are listed in there. If they are, remove those lines, ssh will ask you the next time you connect to add them.

    My "new" mac won't recognize, load or mount CDs, can't load my software...

    Open up System Profile from /Applications/Utilities and look to see if your CD drive is listed at all in there. It could be something like the cable got knocked lose inside your computer when it was in transit to your home. Brian

    Colors in Terminal

    actually all you need to do is: <code> alias ln=`ls -FG` </code> and stick that in your .bash_profile file (or create one if it doesn't exist). Brian

    Airport

    Depends on the adaptor. Not all of the adaptors made work with OS X and it can even come down to hardware revision of the card. Sometimes the producers will change the chipset in their wireless adaptors but not change the model number, they'll just switch it to be like v1.2 or something. You'll...

    ssh login and password in one line

    You could also have your login script change your umode. Setting your umode sets the default file privleges on files you create. Also see what spb said about setting up ssh key pairs (if it's supported on the remote system). You can also look at using the 'expect' language which is designed for...

    X11 with secondary monitor

    What you want to do isn't possible. X will only see the desktop as one big desktop as thats how it's presented by the OS to X11. What you're seeing on linux is possible because the drivers for the video cards are part of the X11 server where in OS X the video driver is part of Quartz and X11...

    Warning: Maxtor/Tiger Compatibility issue

    Blame EMC Dantz on that one. They haven't even released an update for normal retrospect for tiger yet. Dantz has always been way behind on updates. IIRC it was a good month or two before they had support for Jaguar when it was released. All my experience with Dantz is, stay far far away unless...

    Tiger Quartz 2D Extreme Disabled?

    For info on Quartz Extreme and Quartz Extreme 2D and their differences read the Ars article on Tiger at http://arstechnica.com/reviews/os/macosx-10.4.ars. Look at pages 13 and 14 of the article. It's a really good explaination of the technologies and discusses how the new 2D compositing engine...

    Tiger on old MACS

    The beige boxes were offically dropped for support in Panther. In order to get Panther installed on a beige G3 you needed to use XPostFacto. Brian

    Temporarily disable one monitor for gaming

    Switch your 2nd monitor to mirror mode, then just turn it off. When it's on mirror mode it shouldn't cause any additional issues for the OS. Brian

    So... Tiger: Buggy and Incomplete?

    I've had almost zero issues with Tiger. I _love_ the new fonts in safari and the smoothing on my iBook. It looks beautiful now, alot less eye strain. Safari 2.0 also has a much smaller memory footprint. My iBook with only 640M runs much better with Tiger then Panther, almost never swaps to disk...

    No water effect, dashboard?

    The water effect requires CoreVideo support which requires a pretty high end video card. Don't recall which ones off hand, but iirc the minimum is a Radeon 9600. Brian

    Tiger on DVD; Apple misleads; delay upgrade

    So, in other words, you're pissed at Apple because you didn't properly read? You know what I think I'm going to be pissed at Apple to. I bought this "Tiger" thing and all it was is a stupid DVD in a box! I wanted a little pet Tiger cub. How dare Apple sell something named "Tiger" and expect...
