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.
