Working with Mac

This weeks had been a transition, new home, new work, new projects. All things are a little different, this week finally I got a computer to work and it's a Mac, its name is Broadcast. Many times I had used the Mac, specially from OS X, now I need to use it every day.

The Unix inside is working great, all is simply and pretty, and the best is the 24" screen, larger than my old TV, my software selections are:
  • Web browser: Mozilla Firefox
  • Multichat: Adium
  • Text edit: jEdit
  • RSS reader: Vienna
  • Seqs Tools: eBioX
  • CHM Reader: Chmox
  • FTP Client: Fetch
  • Screensaver: Tron/RedPill
I miss Linux, but many server and clusters are Linux-based, so I use my Mac to connect with it.

Maybe later I try Xcode to develop some application for Mac.

Options include partition of the hda disk, we use the defaults and put all the system in a partition and default swap size. We add the general user named beagle and after rebooting, login, become root, change the password and install the SSH server: sudo su - passwd apt-get install openssh-server Repeat this for all the nodes. The next steps will be only from the master node. SSH access You need to create a pair of keys for each user to access any node without a password, first we create it in the general user beagle : ssh-keygen cp .ssh/id_pub .ssh/authorized_keys Root also need this keys, but we don't export the root's home, after you created the keys, you need to copy to all the nodes.

So do you have some PS3 and you're boring of play and watch Blue-Ray movies? You must know the PS3 is the most accessible CELL- based machine, why not use this computer problem in other areas beyond entrainment . In this PS3 ClusterGuide you can build step-by-step your own cluster with PS3, the receipt: 1. Take some PS3. 2. Interconnect it in a LAN. 3. Install Fedora PPC in each one. 4. Install cluster utils . 5. Learn to code in CELL- SDK for a better experience and performance . I accept some PS3 for scientific probes ... really I just want one to play ...
