Most of the UNIX utilities (bash, nano, vim, emacs), replacement Java VMs, Python, perl, the Chess App, CUPS subsystem, SMB, all the gnu utilities, openssl, SSH, ntp, curses, and so on. Resources came from the Desktop Wallpaper, CoreTypes, and window graphics off Mavericks.

Yes, compiled with Xcode and GCC. Homebrew is also on the system, but not used very often.

I actually published some of the bash and nano binaries back when a rather major CVE was put out:

http://repo.furcode.co/index.php?dir=macOS/bash_OSX/

Thinking about it, it might be a neat project to make an "update" pack to replace the aging Leopard binaries with shiny new ones (that aren't as vulnerable).

Hmm for a strange reason I never considered that route of compiling the public sources.

I was probably under the assumption that it was Intel sourcecode or it might have been after I installed FreeBSD PPC and was compiling an entire week just to get X , that I gave up on compiling however Macports and Homebrew aren't the perfect solutions always :)

I'm guessing you were referring to ShellShock ,the bash vulnerability.

Guess one of the 3 Powerbooks will be doing a lot of compiling this weekend , indeed sounds like a neat project .

I've been stuck on OpenBSD 5.9/6.0 PPC/Intel for the moment, or BSD in general .

The first builds were for ShellShock, then the fix for the fix for ShellShock, and later were just maintenance, it's noted in the README.

Not a Dual 1.42, but I like it anyway.
 
My Trusty PowerMac G5 that I'l be using as my main and only desktop for a week, along with several PPC laptops for the PowerPC Challenge :D

Here is the post from swamp rock on how to adjust the system font to San Francisco. It can be found on the first page of the "Sierra Theme for OS X Leopard" thread.



"This was my original post in the older thread- https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/el-capitan-theme-for-os-x-leopard.1947376/page-2#post-22512716

The hard part was running FontForge on my Intel Mac, opening up all of the fonts, selecting the San Fran fonts, and copying them over to the Lucida Grande dfont, overwriting the originals. Save and close.

I'll save you the work and post my modified LucidaGrande.dfont here.

Download the dfont and unpack it to your desktop. Go to /System/Library/Fonts/ and copy the current LucidaGrande.dfont and paste it somewhere as a backup (I put mine in /Documents). Reboot your system and immediately hold cmd-s at the chime to boot into single user mode. Type "/sbin/mount -uw /" (without the quotes) at the prompt and hit return. Type "cd /Users/<yourusername>/Desktop/" and hit return. Type "cp LucidaGrande.dfont /System/Library/Fonts/" and hit return. Reboot.

That's it.

Follow the same procedure on a Tiger machine for the same results.

The usual disclaimers apply. I'm not responsible if you hose your system, so make sure to backup the original font as outlined above.

Keep in mind that, due to the way Leopard (and Tiger) render the original fonts, that this will not look exactly like Yosemite/El Capitan/Sierra, but it's very close.

(This also works with Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion (and probably Lion as well), but you have to use a ttc font instead of a dfont, and go into the ProtectedFonts folder and remove the originals, or else the system will just put it back when you change it. I replaced the protected LucidaGrande.ttc with my modified one to be doubly sure and it worked like a charm. Renaming LucidaGrande.dfont to LucidaGrande.ttc will NOT work; you need a specifically-modified ttc font to make it work, and I created one following the exact same steps as I described in my original post)"

^ and yes that's windows xp (x86) running in a virtual machine there - not remote desktop

PowerBook Kanga?

Could be a Wall street also, but if it was the case I think the RAM would have been upgraded more :D

EDIT: I'm stupid, obviously a Wall street given it runs Tiger!

Any computer with a factory G3 and most computers with a G3 upgrade card can be made to run Tiger.
 
is that your mac? I remember it on the TFF blog... heh. I noticed you have not installed any form of Cache enabler I highly recommend you do it will perk it up a lot (for that CPU you want sonnets cache enabler)
 
Yep, I inherited it. I put 10.4 on it just because of Cameron's earlier post. I haven't had the time to try to put 10.5 on it, though it should run... so this can run OSs from 7.5.5 all the way to 10.5.8, which is pretty awesome.

Isn't the cache enabling part of XPostFacto? How can I tell if cache is enabled or not?

while xpostfacto has a cache enabler option its not enabled by default and does not work with anything 10.3 or newer, sonnets cache enabler is a much better tool and works in tiger etc. in tiger to tell if cache is enabled, it will report your L2 and L3 cache in system profiler/about this mac
