The mac remote desktop server uses VNC as far as I can remember. If you
enable the remote desktop service you should be able to connect with a
decent VNC client.

Wiring your house properly with Cat 6 will be way less expensive and
compatible with everything. The only reason to use fibre for gigabit
would be you have a run that's longer than 100m or you are running in an

There are two ways I've done this in the past:
1) Mount the netapp volumes on the destination host using NFS (CIFS will

I have used ZFS extensively at home and at work for the last 5 years. My

The fuse port is slow and you don't get some of the native OS features
of ZFS. I also can't speak to it's reliability. There is also a kernel

My guess would be that the initrd file doesn't contain the proper

similar issues before. I would boot the system with a recovery CD.

Likely what the builder did is pull one cat5 cable per room and use half

quite common.
