If you are on a Ubuntu or Debian client you only have to add one line to

/etc/ssh/ssh_config
ServerAliveInterval 5

In OSX the config file for ssh can be found in /etc/ssh_config.

Actually this line sends a keep-alive packet to the server every 5 seconds. You can change the interval as you like, but for me it works best with 5 seconds.

Alternatively you can also use the parameter when connecting to the remote host. The command looks like this:

ssh -o ServerAliveInterval=10

45 minutes ago a proof of concept was just broadcasted through Qik.

It is a preview on the upcoming release which will be more user-friendly than the one in this video

Seems to be a much cheaper alternative (~275euro) to the MacBook Air. I haven’t seen the Air in real yet, but I think the Mebius is as thin as the Air.

First you need to rip the OSX DVD with a program of your choice. (Toast/Drop DMG on mac or there is a program for windows called TransMac)
In transmac select “Tools”->”Disk/CD Image”->”Save Image of disk/CD”

After transferring the *.dmg image to the eMac, connect the iPod with the firewire cable, go to “Disk Utility” an select the iPod.
Erase it.
Restore it, when it asks you what to restore , select the image we made from the DVD before.

Restart the Mac and hold the < option > key during startup to boot from the iPod.

You should now be able to install OSX 10.4 on your DVD-Drive-less eMac.

Add: Somehow it is not possible to boot from the iPod 5G (and i think its the same for iPod 5.5G) with firewire cable :/
