In essence, I am wondering how you can use multiple older ppc computers to make things happen faster?
I have occasion to run unix based programs via X11 at work. I am not a knowledgeable unix person but actually OSX is educating me in that direction. It's possible for me to use "ssh" to connect to a remote computer (CentOS) and run an application which opens a window on my screen. As I understand it, that means that that application is actually running on the remote cpu, not my local mac. My mac is only working as a X-Window server. So I was wondering if it was possible to run the applications that we normally run on a mac, in X11? In other words can I run Safari on one mac, Excel on another, while watching a DVD on another, by connecting to these cpu remotely using x windows? Or does this only work with special x windows programs? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
