There comes a point where it is useful to run Linux GUI apps elsewhere every once in a while and in my case virt-manager. Thus I set about figuring out how to use X11 forwarding from Arch Linux to Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks. This is how it’s done.

sudo update-grubAnd you’re done. Easy wasn’t it!?
As part of my quest to find the ultimate unRAID setup for my needs I stumbled across an interesting post on the Lime Technology forum about Xen and virtualisation. The aim of this post is to take you through the steps of installing Ubuntu Server 13.04, compiling yourself a Xen compatible kernel with...
