CALLING ALL COMPUTER TECH'S

[lemonboy]

Yeah distributed computing is neat but not really practical when it comes to the consumer. I've installed Gentoo many times using distcc and my other PC to speed up the hundreds of compilations.

There's nothing wrong with Apple. I own 3 Macs.

I got interested in Apple after OS X came out and bought one of the original white G3 iBooks. It's a great OS really. Streamlined and intuitive. It works right out of the box and you don't have to go around tinkering with things if you don't want to. Being a tinker-er it's just nice to sit down at something at the end of the day that just works.

On the other hand it is also powerful. A rich CLI and access to literally thousands of open source applications. Quartz is pretty amazing visually. Full and smooth animations right in the GUI thanks to hardware acceleration from just about any OpenGL card. Pre-emptive multitasking. Perfect font smooth. Drag and drop application installation. Never, ever having to install a driver. Lots of other things.

I'm not wed to Apple hardware which I guess is good given the switch to Intel. Where they impress me is the finishing touches and how every inch of their total package is by design. This is apparent just by the care taken to design the packaging their hardware comes in.

I'm a Gentoo user as well. I run it on my LAN's samba server and used to on my laptop but my wireless card doesn't work properly in Linux so I had to install Windows

Unfortunatly I have to run Windows on my main box becuase ATi's propriatary driver is really lacking in the everything department.

Lemonboy,

I have a new found respect for you as a fellow geek... because of that, I'll try... try to give the OS X a try... Who knows? I might buy one... after I buy the plasma... and the server I need... and the clutch for my car... etc...

I'll admit to what you say about their "finishing touches"... At least, hardware-wise, Apples are very well built (I think). I haven't spent more than 10 minutes in an Apple... hmmm....

I'll give it a try in the future... just don't tell Garden Knowm...

What you want to do is easier said than done. But, look into clustering, for the combining of the two comps ... as for hacking your neighbor, you can't do it just by being on their wireless. Haha

Depends on what we're considering "hack"...

AirSnort is pretty... oh forget it...

If you need to ask others how to gain access to other's PCs, you probably can't do it.
