Use Remote CUPS Printer (Update)
First allow printer-sharing on linux-box. This must be done in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf by adding something like the following:
<location /printers/hp>
AuthType None
Order Deny,Allow
Deny From All
Allow From 127.0.0.1
Allow From 192.168.0.*
</location>
/printers/hp is the before locally installed printer.Now the printer should be accessable from local 192.168.0.*-network.
Now setting up OS X Panther.

Update: … the article below belogs only to PostScript printers – using HPDeskjets this does not belong to you, just read „step by step“!

In Panther, it can be difficult to print to a remote CUPS server. This is because Panther runs CUPS as its own print engine, and will attempt to render the PostScript for you once you select your correct printer driver. It will then send the rendered file to the remote CUPS server. The remote CUPS server will then try to render the already rendered file and will give a no_file error. The work-around is to make one end of the chain a ‚raw‘ printer. [read more]
Step by step:
1. open webbrowser and go to http://127.0.0.1:631/
2. click „Printers“
3. „Add Printer“ and enter name, … for the remote printer
4. choose Device ipp
5. insert Device URI ipp://192.168.0.1:631/printers/hp
6. choose Model/Driver: Raw
7. choose Model Raw Queue
————–
Update: for non PostScript printers:
6. choose Model/Driver: HP (or your own model)
————–
Now the remote printer can be normaly accessed via Print-Dialog:Shared Printers
Gut für die Seele
Still, Mac is currently the most worthy client platform in my opinion: the only operating system currently in production that, within reason,lets you have your cake and eat it too.

USB Video Conferencing with Panther
macdevcenter: If you’re one of those lucky chaps who can afford to buy a FireWire video camera such as the Apple iSight, then using iChat AV is truly a joy. For those who don’t quite have the budget for one yet, then the next best solution is to get a cheap USB webcam, or repurpose one you already have.

App: iCal Birthday Shifter
Move your Address Book birthdays into iCal
For no good reason, iCal 1.0 can’t automatically grab birthdays from your Address Book. iCal Birthday Shifter „addresses“ this problem! You can choose which calendar to add the birthday events to, and if you have a Birthdays calendar, it will be preselected automatically.
Das lob ich mir
Auf Slashdot steht das jemand Konqueror unter OS X kompiliert hat. Bravo!
App: XML Editor
Hab einen (auf dem ersten Blick) ganz brauchbaren XML Editor gefunden: XMLmind XML Editor, davon gibts eine eingeschränkte kostenlose Version für WinXX, Linux und OS X, die aber für den Hausgebrauch ausreichen sollte. Besonderes Goody: integr. Wörterbücher für Deutsch, Spanisch, Englisch uvm.
True Speed
On www.macosxhints.com there was a thread about the true speed of 867MHz Powerbooks. After checking on my Powerbook I got the same result:
minime:~ christian$ sysctl hw.cpufrequency hw.cpufrequency: 533333332
The solution was a PMU reset. The whole story can be read at docs.info.apple.com, the short is here (extracted):
1. If the computer is on, turn it off.
2. Reset the power manager by simultaneously pressing and then releasing Shift-Control-Option-power on the keyboard. Do not press the fn (Function) key while using this combination of keystrokes.
3. Wait 5 seconds.
4. Press the power button to restart the computer.
(Option-Key means ALT) after doing that you may have to check if the system clock shows the correct date and time. Now you shoud see the right speed:
minime:~ christian$ sysctl hw.cpufrequency
hw.cpufrequency: 866666664
App: Sogudi
Configure your own shortcuts to search or visit your favorite sites using just a few simple keystrokes in Safari (like using bookmark-shortcuts in mozilla). For example searching google.com for XYZ just type goo XYZ in Location bar.
App: iTerm
iTerm free terminal emulation program for OS X. The especial thing on it is, that iTerm supports multi-tab working.
One can navigate between the different sessions using SHIFT-LEFT/RIGHT and lines in window-buffer with SHIFT-UP/DOWN, like in KDE-Console.
