WOW! Upgraded to the previous version of OS X a while ago and was completely underwhelmed - it was buggy, slow and just very cranky. Just upgraded tonight and even on a 2yr old Macbook this iteration flies - not missed a beat and is very responsive... well chuffed with it. :cool:

KDE when i used to use it was nicer to look at, but i found it very cranky and too much bloat - no way near as stable or as efficient as Gnome. I found Gnome dull, but it worked and was rock solid.... No idea where we're up to at the moment, but KDE was iffy.... As for a distro, Ubuntu...

Spotlight is brilliant.... one of the BEST features in Mac OS X :confused:

Good post, though what struck me about it is the lack of proper harsh criticisms, which is good from Apple's point of view. I think the iPhone5 only needs a few touches to make it a bit more update, but i think it's a superb bit of kit - from a design point of view... it's my job to be...

ordered mine a few days ago... can't wait. takes me back to the days of the BBC Micro computers - playing and experimenting with BASIC and external devices - making clocks and timers etc. :D I've got a good grasp of linux and have a very, very basic grasp of programming i.e. how to...

Most chargers will work for this purpose. Weirdly, i was discussing this with a lad at work and reckons most chargers will be fine...

Ahhh, didn't know about that! Cheers. :)

yeah, cheers. the only reason i ask about the install disk, is that when i ran disk utility it used to tell me to boot from the DVD on some occassions.

'ello, I've upgraded to the latest version of Mac OS X Lion via the app store :rolleyes: it's OK, but it's a bit slow compared to the previous version... i was wondering can you check disk permissions/file structure etc. using the OS install disk i got with my macbook like i used to, to see...

seriously???! the sons of female dogs..... that was one of the only real reasons i was using mobile me... it was dead easy to save to one drive, sync and then open the files on another computer... every other feature was dog toffee..... cheers for that. i'll sort something else out...

Sorry if this has been posted, and i have tried to problem solve this on my own, but i've not got very far... i've changed from mobile me -> iCloud [i didn't have much choice... :mad:] now, am i being dumb or has the "idisk" feature gone? i used to work on the idisk on my macbook...

odd. works fine for me.

very impressed with it! goes like stink on my mini... much faster than FF. :)

what he said. the linux and mac versions are very streamlined and non invasive, compared to the dreaded windows version.

i wouldn't touch gentoo with a ten foot s***y stick, i bet it goes like the clappers when it's all set up and hunky dorey, but for me, it was like wiping my bum with wet and dry trying to get it to install... and the only real benefit apart from speed is the 133T factor you may be seen to have...

if you can use redhat, you can use ubuntu... for me redhat made linux hard work at first (i used FC2) and i canned the whole *nix thing for a while because of it [that said, linux was a pig in general back then]... Ubuntu though really was a breeze and made using linux as easy as XP, for...

easy peasy - Ubuntu, but to be fair, based on that criteria, any linux distro will fit the bill...

you sir, are a gentleman. and i love you more than life it's self. dan.

the soldered memory module on my G4 ibook has died and so i am left with only 256Mb of RAM, i need at least 512Mb for Panther to run smoothly, i reckon. the ibook takes PC2700 DDR RAM, is this apple specific memory modules or can i buy any type from any company? cheers dan.

most versions of linux will run ok on that... like someone has already said drivers *may* be a problem, but it's unlikely... use a live CD just to make sure before you commit to an install.
