cool :-) thanks, not that i am sure i would convert an ibook to linux as it is already running Unix, and gentoo seems to now be offering a way to install portage and put "linux" apps on top of OSX (and there are other ways too)
my cousin brought one over the other day to show me some family photos, and i had some on my computer that she wanted. She asked me to email them, i said don't be silly. I plugged into the lan, it got an ip via dhcp, i went to a xterm like terminal thingy, typed mkdir nickspics cd nickspics scp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/dirwiththepics/* . and gave her back the computer. I was suitably impressed with finding ssh/scp, and of course she would never have known they existed. It also helped that her login name and password were handily writtten on a postit note next to the keyboard :-) On Wed, 04 Aug 2004 13:09:25 +1200 Hamish McBrearty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: > >Can anyone give me a quick answer as to whether these cards work with > >linux?
