I have an Apple iBook running OS X 10.2 connected to my network via an 802.11b wireless network. When I transfer files via SMB with my Windows 2000 computer, the speed seems reasonable. However, when I connect to a share on my Debian (x86) box (kernel 2.4.19) running Samba 2.2.3a-12 for Debian, the speed is only about a sixth as fast (transferring files to or from the Win2k box is about 6

I set up a domU as a backup server, but it has very, very poor network performance with external computers. I ran some tests with iperf and found some very weird results. Using iperf, I get these approximate numbers (the left column is the iperf client and the right column is the iperf server): domU --> domU 1.77 Gbits/sec (using 127.0.0.1) domU --> domU 1.85 Gbits/sec (using domU

I'm trying to use rsync to copy files from a Microsoft Windows machine (XP, with cygwin) to a macintosh (10.5.8, PPC). After a lot of playing with options, manual page reading, etc, I have the following command, executed on the windows machine: rsync -A -X -a --delete --rsync-path="/opt/local/bin/rsync --fake-super --log-file=/tmp/rlog.txt" /cygdrive/c/DRIVERS "rsync at

Well, the worm has turned and I think I may actually get an Apple ;P. But I can''t decide which one. Pros and cons: 14" iBook: + modem (for when broadband kicks out, or on the road and there''s no WIFI) + screen is probably big enough (though I currently have a 15" Dell) + doesn''t get as hot as the MacBook + almost half the cost + less likely to get stolen -

This is way OT, but here goes... I''ve had an iBook for 2 days now and am debugging a web built with prototype/script aculo / windows / etc... I have no real experience on a Mac. Occasionally, there''s no better way to debug JavaScript than an alert in a loop... Once I have the information information I want from the alert, the loop may want to execute another 300 times. I

Hi all, an iBook running Mac OS X 10.2 recently joined my little network, so i did configure it for using a Windows shared printer (HP Officejet G55), naturally through SMB protocol. I used CUPS for setting it up. Now, the problem: if i try to print from the iBook, the printer takes about 10 minutes for throwing out each page and the document seems to be continuously spooled up to windows.

This is an operating system question, but it is with the intent of using R on that operating system. I have an ibook G4 Power PC that I am going to install linux on. Is there a better, worse, or perhaps easier (I am a linux newby migrating from mac) distribution that I should look at. I appreciate your help. I didn't post this in the sig-mac because I don't know if it fits there better

I have a 12" G4 iBook with the latest os (Panther) with the recent updates. When I start R by double clicking, it expands for a fraction of a second and then, nothing happens. There is mention in the readme about using something called "i-install" to uninstall a mistakenly installed library, but I do not know how to do this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Martin

How many people out there are doing Rails development on a Mac Mini? I''ve been eyeing up the MacBook as well as the new MacMini trying to decide if I want to splurge. I''ve been doing very little Rails development thus far which makes the investment a little hard to justify. The Free Mini Mac ( http://minimacs.freepay.com/?r=16778073) offer seems like the best route but

I''d like to generate config files containing passwords. One (obvious) way to do this would be: $password = ''big_secret'' file { ''/the/config.file'': content => template(''config.file.erb''); } # config.file.erb has a `password = <%= password %>` line The problem with this is, that I''d have to

Hi All, I''ve finally got fed up of struggling with Windows and am on the verge of splashing out on a Macbook for Ruby/Rails development. I''ve seen DHH''s post about it on loudthinking but I wondered if anyone else has any more wisdom... Is it worth it over a powerbook? Any tips on good OSX apps for Rails dev (textmate, i know already)? Anything not working well on

I'm looking to switch to Mac platform. Anyone had any experience with that? I'm expecting on a power G4 laptop later this week.... hope R behaves... -- dok

I'm trying to use wine on a remote X11 desktop (my Mac iBook), and everything works except for the system fonts. I can see fonts in the system menus (File, Edit, Help, etc), but not anywhere else on the application. For example, when I run winecfg on the remote linux box (running Slax "Kill Bill" edition), I see *no* text whatsoever. When running winemine, I can only see text

Hi, I'm away at a conference in Amsterdam. My home is in Cambridge in the UK. On a whim, I tossed an ATA186 and a phone into my bags before leaving home. I was able to plug my ATA186 into a LAN here at the conference and was connected to my home Asterisk in a few seconds. Total time from unzipping my bag to talking to home no more than 15 seconds. OK, so the kit could be more portable,

Dear list, My system administrator at office runs a SMB server for us all to share files at smb://server/share/ , on which we share mainly MS Office/OpenOffice.org documents. I have recently switched to iBook G4 with Panther. After the switching, I can connect to the SMB server using Panther's built in SMB capability (under Finder). But then we discover that when I open a file on

I have an ibook G4 (powerpc) running OS X panther. I am using gcc 4.0.3 installed from Darwin Ports to compile llvm. When I try to compile llvm, I get the following error: llvm[1]: Compiling Program.cpp for Debug build Unix/Program.inc: In function 'void llvm::SetMemoryLimits(unsigned int)': Unix/Program.inc:127: error: 'RLIMIT_AS' was not declared in this scope Does anyone

I apologize in advance for asking a beginner question, but I really could not figure this from the manual page. I want to copy some files with rsync, and not copy others. The stuff that I do not want to copy looks like this: System Volume Information/_restore*/RP* WINDOWS/Prefetch/* Documents and Settings/leila/Local Settings/Application Data/Google/Chrome/Application/*/Installer/chrome.7z

Hey guys I got a ibook g4, I installed darwine, I tried running MSN Messenger 7.0 "it says it works" and it doesn't work I just get an error saying it didn't worry and has closed. I tried utorrent, same deal, then I went to the darwine folder and went into applications and tried clocks.exe and that didn't work either. Help me out? Thanks
