New Life to Old iMac

Hi - first post to list (well - first post in years anyway ...)

I left the ppc Linux world for the x86 Linux world - but I just put YDL
on my old iMac.

Anyway - the way I did it is actually a little uniq, using XDMCP so that
I could use it as a desktop w/o needing to look at a fuzzy monitor.

The end result was not only a crisp desktop (thanks to my x86 Linux box)
- but it actually is FASTER than logging into the iMac directly.

I have a small writup at http://homepage.mac.com/mpeters/xdmcp/ for
anyone else who is interested in doing this sort of thing.
