My son-in-law gave my wife a Mac OSX 17" laptop.

I finally got it set upfor her with wireless, internet access, mail with Thunderbird, etc. but she still only knows the SuSE way.
Sooo....the question is can I install a SuSE onto that machine? or better yet network the laptop to my/her desktop 11.0 via something like ssh?
I have a friend who installed Kubuntu on a 17-inch Powerbook with VirtualBox. When he runs VirtualBox in full-screen mode you'd never know it was really a Mac. I'm sure that SuSE would run just dandy on it. Also, another friend installed the Apple X system on a much older Mac and got KDE running native. He could switch between the OS-X GUI and KDE. SSH is also installed on Macs. I've used the command-line over SSH quite a bit, but you might be able to get X apps working with SSH port forwarding too. I never tried that wrinkle myself. It will be fun to fiddle with it! Regards, Lew -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
