Whee! I have VNC running right on the PC (I'm on the Linux box right now, VNCed into the PC which is at my feet, so it's really quite pointless). The OS X server is being balky, but I'll hold off on that until tomorrow. Since there's the whole Chicken thing.
However, the Linux VNC server I eventually installed (not RealVNC, but whatever package Synaptic let me get at) gives me a blank screen on the PC. I do remember this before, but not how to fix it. Is it an X server issue on the Linux side? It doesn't look to be anything client side.
When I started vncserver on the Linux box, I did nothing other than give it a password. Maybe I'm missing parameters...
Back to the drawing board.
eta: I do have x11vnc working fine, but I'd like to not use the current X11 session. And damn, this way round (I'm on the PC connecting to the Linux box) is much slower.
Thanks -- I'll check those both out when I get home.
For the curious who were following my iPod saga (probably none) I went ahead and bought an iTrip, swayed by the fact that it a) fit in my acessory case, and b) was on sale at Target.
I feel comfirmed in my belief that the Houston airways are way too crowded, but it does pretty well at 87.9, so for $20, I'm happy.
I got the Monster one (don't know the name) for Christmas. I like that one.
Here's a handy tool -- compare TV sizes of different aspect ratios. (Useful for figuring out how your new flatscreen compares to your old tube.)
le nubian - I was gifted with the Monster one. It has been used around the Bay Area with much success.
This is why I like my new linux computer. I'm uploading a video file, downloading a video file (both on my local lan), encoding an mpeg2 file to divx, watching a wmv movie streaming off the internet, and posting here with everything running smoothly.
Yes, but can you manage your recipes and chart your biorhythms?
Well, sure, it's no BeOS but it's better than my old setup.
