IP over Firewire Updated

Posted by pudge on from the scary-sweet dept.

foniksonik writes "Apple released an update to its IP over FireWire software. 'Now the IP over FireWire Preview Release adds support for using the Internet Protocol - commonly known as TCP/IP - over FireWire. ... Using the existing Network Preferences Pane, users can add FireWire as their IP network node to connect and communicate between two machines. ... In all cases, Rendezvous can be used if desired for configuration, name resolution, and discovery.'" Now it is time for YA debate on FireWire vs. Ethernet. Let the festivities commence!

    that's practical, of course - I'm going back to Omniweb if fucking Safari won't spell as I type for me...

    If I have two G4s but only only keyboard and monitor. Yes, I can buy a KVM box but I am sure there is a software solution.

    I have tried Haxial Remote Access Tool with limited success.

    Any other ideas - e.g. an X11 based solution? I don't want to buy Apple's Remote Desktop if I can help it.

    I am running 10.2 client on one machines and 10.1 server on the other (server is headless). Am planning on upgrading to 10.3 Server (possibly), but since I just want it to host 10 websites, might learn how to tweak httpd.conf for virtual hosts (is there a GUI for this that's inexpensive?)

    Thanks
