Thanks, I'll give it a try.. also Apple say you can add it to the startup items.. but from what I understand you will still have to click "Connect". Oh, the effort...

I'll have a read up on ssh.. I'm planning on eventually putting this Linux box in the garage (should be ok there, right?), or if its too.. cold or something confused: ) then in a small room with the router. I'll add a gigabit card, and a gigabit router.. and put a gigabit cable through to my iMac. Then, in theory, I should have faster than USB2 transfer speeds.. who knows if it will work in practise.

I'm sure I'll need to come back to this thread for help soon D), but for now, thanks a lot. I would give iTwitch and nplima rep points, if this forum supported it. I really appreciate it.

I would go for RedHat, do not use Fedora Core, it's a little unstable.

Biggest lie told all over the internet. Not to mention that Redhat costs money for updates. Many people use Fedora daily for desktop and a server.
