Ok now I would like to share another experience in developing a new desktop, running under Mac OS X Tiger in my Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook, to support my work in the office as an IT staff.  This time I would like to explain how we could run our X-Windows Application running in UNIX/Linux machine remotely, in our Mac OS X Tiger’s Desktop.

Fist thing that must be done is installing the X11 terminal in your Tiger. By default (in Mac Book) this terminal would not be installed yet in the OS. You can install it from your OS Tiger’s Installer CD, which is included in MacBook CD Package. See the step by step of this installation here.  

Then after finishing the installation, go to the Utilities Directory and find X11.app Terminal that has been installed before. Run it, and then type this comment below

$xhost <your local Mac IP Address>
<Your local Mac IP address> being added to access control list
$ ssh -X <username>@<server IP address>
password:<your password>
…
…
…
[You are in the UNIX/Linux console]
[try to run a X-Window  Application such as xclock]
$xclock

Here is the result:

Now, Enjoy your X-Window Application Running in your Mac OS X Tiger Desktop.

Regard,
Co-that

Huh finally I’ve installed Windows XP in my MacBook. I thought it was a hard work, but it just as easier as "Next Next Next Finish" . The only thing that U need is only BootCamp and a piece of a blank CD and a bootable Windows XP CD (License or Mangga 2 version is cool ) from Mikocok… ups sorry Microsoft I mean. And of course U need a MacBook it self with Intel as its brain inside.

First thing that u must do is installing  the Bootcamp in your OS X Tiger, as the default of your MacBook OS. by this installation u will automatically assist to create a Windows Driver Disc using blank CD that I mention above. Then just follow Wizard’s instruction. By following this wizard we will be guided to create a drive where we will place the Windows. After that the wizard will ask us to insert the boot-able windows  CD  and restart the machine then u can install Windows as usual. Just that simple bro… o yeah one more thing, after finishing Windows installation, don’t forget to install the Windows Driver Disc that U create before.

Then enjoy your dual OS in your cute MacBook Machine :p Oh remember….. To select which OS u will start, press alt/option button when booting the machine.

But do you know some thing… now I use Mac OS X mostly, I don’t know, I think I start falling in love with this Operating System, it’s cute and elegant :p I start to use it to access my Exchange Account, remote my Unix Machine, or to chat with my friends using Yahoo Massager from a cute tools named Adium,   although there are some tool that I need, that can not be implemented in this OS yet just like using FTP Client to transfer files over internet (hix I need it to update my blog design :p).   
And there are so many fun stuff that can be used, just like photo editor using iPhoto, or iDVD to play your favorite movie. And my favorite is Photo Booth to take my own photo using web camera which is integrated in this Machine, and look what I have done  here hehehehhe

Cute, elegant, powerful and white!! Heheh that was the words coming out from my mind for the first time I saw the design of this beautiful Apple Product. Designed and built for today’s digital lifestyle, the Mac offers a complete and integrated ensemble of digital tools called iLife. In addition to iTunes and iPhoto, iLife includes GarageBand, iMovie and, on all systems equipped with a SuperDrive, iDVD, as well. Like the Mac itself, the iLife suite of applications is easy to use and work together flawlessly. Create a musical masterpiece in GarageBand, then listen to it on iPod or add it to a home movie or DVD slideshow. You’ll use iMovie to turn raw video footage into polished films — complete with soundtracks, titling and effects — that friends will actually ask to watch over and over again. And iDVD will let you burn your photos and movies onto DVDs that can be played on most commercially available DVD players.

And the most important MacBook, with Intel Core 2 Duo support, makes installing Intel base OS such as Windows, Linux and Free BSD, is possible in Apple machine (use BootCamp to make double OS in MacBook or MacBook Pro, see Installing Dualboot with Bootcamp in MacBook). This possibility has made this product become next apple products booming after the success of iPod. And it made me decided to buy one hehehe. Oh God I love my new baby so much!
