Personally, I got the apple for the hardware, not necessarily because it was smoother or cooler unless by smooth and cool you mean a sexy looking laptop that works very well, hehe. I don't run OSX on it nor do I use it for games either. The biggest thing that I have learned about ppc since getting it is the number of companies who claim that their software is supported under linux when what they mean is x86-linux is supported. Of these the biggest annoyance to me is not being able to tryout most of the "linux" soft phones on my laptop.

The adage security through obscurity comes to mind on this but I think setting up sshd in a chroot plus adding port knocking protection is a bit more secure. Hope that help someone with any security concerns they may have. > Sorry if I create a bit of uneasiness among users I apoligize I just = > hard core security buff that makes a living doing nothing but security > for major corporations. lol, sorry but the first thing that came to mind after reading that was the image of a tatooed up Rent-a-cop sleeping in a chair in a lobby. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I couldn't care less how long it takes. If I need a computer in the meantime, I have a Linux box, a Windows box, a Mac, or another laptop (that's unfortunately running Windows since my wife is playing Sims 2...) Right now, though, I can't even get the CD to boot. I posted in the forum and I have the suggestion to try running with nodma when I get home. http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=364173 Joey On 7/28/05, Andrew Baudouin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Things have changed a lot since 1.x.
