Windows is not generally happy when it’s lacking a graphics card, and I don’t believe that VNC really works without some sort of display running, either. I don’t think that this could be done any other way, really. Doing this, I can use VMWare’s snapshots to “fix” windows if the Xilinx tools break it. I happen to have some headless boxes that do have legacy ports, so my setup is to run Xilinx Webpack in Windows 2000 under VMWare for linux, which is forwarding its display to my powerbook. One nice reason to use X11 under OSX is that powerbooks (such as my laptop) are somewhat lacking in the ports department… I’ve been playing with some FPGA programming tools, which only run under windows, and have a bit of a history of breaking it (irreversibly corrupting the OS, that is), so it makes sense to run windows in a VM.

The Sun thin clients can be found on ebay for under $50, are completely silent, and use pc keyboards and mice. I would recommend getting a Sun Ray, or a Sun Javastation, which both run linux and use those. If anyone is really interested in running a linux/unix server and then doing all X forwarding I would not even recommend a cheap pc running linux on it for the client, that’s even overkill. I like the iBook, I can just get my work done right away, it’s also silent, which my cheap x86 pcs never were. In my opinion a computer should work just like a tv, turn it on and it works, no problems. I would rather spend my time doing other activities then monkeying with my computer.

I got tired of half finished open source applications and spending all night trying to get a movie player compiled so I can watch a movie. I used linux on the desktop for 3 years about 5 years ago, and again a year ago.

Where OS X shines for me is audio recording, there are many more professional packages available for mac than unix. I also use ethereal with X in OS X every once in a blue moon. I mainly use OS X apps, but every once in a while (maybe once a month) I will use X forwarding from my sun box. Why people would by a mac, wich is very expensive for what it is, and run macosX, when the os is so slow, to run Linux app? Go by a PC for une quarter de price of a mac and run Linux on it, that it. Because you really don’t know what you are talking about!!!! So please if you don’t know the things, don’t come with unrelevant arguments. I am using osx, and with X11, no problem to use this computation ressource…… To connect to the server its better to have a workstation with Xwindow. In my university there is a computer center providing access to those applications with remote connection (Xwindow is wonderful for that), they run on a HP server with HP/UX. I am student, i can afford those kind of applications. Personnaly i often use Mathlab, Mathematica for my work. There still many high end CAD, Finite element solver applications running on Solaris, HP/UX, Aix, etc that can be ported easily on osx using X11. A few months ago, Gridgen and Fieldview used for computational fluid dynamics have been ported on osx using x11. Many of thoses applications are coming to osx. With X11, many of those high end Unix applications developper have ported their applications on osx using X11, that’s very trivial for them if there is a X11 layer. That’s particularly important for the high end applications that i described above because they ara used for 3 dimensional visullisation. All of those applications are OpenGl accelerated as Apple X11 is OpenGl accelerated. The point here, is that Unix and Linux applications can run natively on osx without to be ported using Carbon or Cocoa carbon. You can also run KDE, Gnome, etc, all of them are available via Fink. All popular Linux applications run on osx natively with X11, should i remind you Gimp, running on osx using X11. RSI IDL has been proted on osx using X11. Such high end applications like EnSight, Techplot, Mathlab, have been proted on os x with X11.
I don’t think so!!!!īy porting X11 on MacOsX as a native windowing layer and optimised for OpenGl, Apple has opened the door for a large number of high end applications, for example engeenering/scientific applications.
Did you really use X11 or do you really understand it.
