I have been using my Hackintosh Pro now for over 3 years and in general I am very happy with it. However, up until now I still had to dual boot into Windows whenever I wanted to burn an Xbox 360 game backup.
Today I can finally get rid of my Windows partition as I found a great tutorial with excellent step by steps to successfully burn an XGD3 game within OS X using a nifty little app called ‘isoBurn‘ from the AppStore.
With all the virtual machines I run on my local network, remembering host IP’s off the top of my head becomes pretty unmanageable. Installing the avahi package for CentOS servers provides a nice way for automatic hostname detecting in app’s supporting Bonjour discovery (like iNet for OS X).
yum install avahi
Kinda handy command to have incase your VNC connection drops and you’re unable to reconnect. SSH into the host and issue the following command.
sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/kickstart -restart -agent
More VNC related OS X commands can be found on Apple Support
I often find myself chasing after a specific version of an RPM package (Xen comes to mind), and there is a handy command option that list all versions of a package for a given repo.
Issuing this will list all available versions of package available.
yum list package-name
