2/18    This is pretty badass:  <DEAD>www.uk.research.att.com/vnc<DEAD>  -John
        \_ <DEAD>www.orl.uk.co<DEAD> for the original.
        \_ <DEAD>www.orl.uk.co<DEAD> for the original.  It's like PC Anywhere but free
           and puts a _huge_ load on the server, but it does work multi
           platform.  There's a client and a server for X, Windows, and a
           bunch of other whacky platforms.  Source available.
           \_ It seems like a replacement for your original X-server
              all together which would suck if you were running a commercial
              X-server like MetroX.  I'm not exactly sure how it displays
              apps using both X and VNC protocols at the same time.
                \_ It doesn't replace your X server.  Go read the docs, I'm
                   not going to explain to you what they already make very
                   clear.  The concept is extremely useful, the problem is
                   the server is piggy on certain OS's which shall remain
                   nameless.  But it _does_ work.  I use it when desperate.

5/7     What's a good reverse port forwarding for a PC(inside firewall) ->
        Unix, so that I can VNC into the Unix that gets forwarded to
        PC's VNC server?

1/12    Good news everyone! You get to enjoy another month of instability, since
        the manufacturer dropped the ball and the case+power for the server we
        ordered on 12/8 has been delayed to 2/16! Yay! --t
        \_ where did you order this?
        \_ This is why you buy from HP or Dell and not some White Box POS.

9/21    So I did it and got myself a Macbook Pro. Any suggestions for the best
        PC->Mac transition?  After finding out that Outlook is not supported
        under Mac; I bought parallels and am installing XP to grab my outlook
        mail archive (~1GB) from the original PC disk (the pc itself is
        basically dead). Any suggestions on a relatively painless import to
        entourage? The Mac Genius guy also reccomended an upgrade to 4GB and

11/12   Server nerds, CCC for mac is totally awesome.  is there somethng
        as cool and friendly for PC or unix?
        \_ Hi.  "CCC" is a free mac program known as "Carbon Copy Cloner".
           If you use a Mac, and have some sort of external usb or firewire
           drive, I recommend you spend 15 minutes downloading it and
           setting it up.  You can easily make a backup set up your data,

6/5     VMWare Server 1.0.0.3 vs. MS Virtual PC 2007, which is better?  Thx.
        \_ VMW is "better" for long term pseudo production use but VPC is
           easier to setup and get started.  VPC also has nearly zero options
           to tweak if your OS/apps aren't happy.
        \_ Don't have time to setup and learn about virtual machines? Don't
           care about performance? Just want to play around? Use VPC.

           machines compiling over NFS at the time (graduated in '97).

1/21    I am trying to setup a small network for my girlfriend's
        mom's company.  They just bought an accounting package
        which requires windows 2003 server.  And they want internet
        access from each computer.  How should the network be setuped?
        Would it be dumb to use static IP for each computer and a
        computer as internet gateway?

11/21   I've noticed that the OS X Terminal.app and xterm etc are all
        slower than xterm / rxvt on Linux/x86. Even a 500 MHz P2 has
        quicker response than a 1.33 Ghz G4 when you are logged
        into a server via SSH. I'm wondering what could be the cause
        of this lag. Is it something that can be adjusted? I find the
        sluggishness the only think holding me back from using a Mac

11/21   Need recommendation for a small form factor network file server
        to connect a PC laptop and a MAC laptop at home.  About 500 gigs
        to 1 T.  I'm looking at the Maxtor Shared storage series and also at
        the "Buffalo terastation".  Can somebody recommend other brand names?
        This is for home use, performance is not critical but it has to be
        reasonably priced.  General purpose PC is out of the question because

6/2     I've been to many places and almost every place I go to have
        802.11b/g. However, almost all of them have protected access,
        which I presume they use because they don't want people stealing
        their bandwidth. So here is one idea I think will really
        revolutionize 802.11X... an option in the router that allows you to
        specify the percentage of unprotected bandwidth you are willing to
