Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
You can't change the default shell for OS X or for X11, you can change the default shell for a user.
Yeah, that's what I meant. Of course, I didn't say that, so thanks for the clarification....

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
So what was the question then?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Is there just one thing to change? i.e. does changing the default shell for a user in the regular OS X environment also change the default shell under X11?

Yes.

Oh, I was assuming that was not the case. That makes things easier. The link I gave above has instructions on how to change a user's shell that should work for Theo, then.

If I only had a brain...
Has anybody networked two Tivos? What's the best way to do it cheaply? I'm willing to run Ethernet under the floor, and I hear that the throughput is substantially better.

So say I snapped entire and decided on a 15 or 17 inch jobbie. Would 512 be okay, or should it be 1GB?
Get 1GB. OS X Panther really likes to have elbow room in the memory department. If you are getting the 17" then you are pretty much getting all of the bells and whistles. I'm currently running a 1.33 GHz 17" Powerbook and it's been a nice solid machine for me with 1 GB of RAM.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Get 1GB.
Did I hear people talking about not getting memory from Apple? Where would you recommend shopping?

Yes, do not get memory from Apple.
My preferred vendor for memory is Other World Computing.
Also, if you know anyone who works for Apple I think they might be doing a Q Promo on the Powerbooks right now and that's would save a good amount of money.
