Hello Chris,
I try to answer to some parts of your questions:

Hello All,
I am a Solaris Admin and I just purchased my first
mac.It is a mini which is attached to my LCD TV. The
primary purpose was for FrontRow. I purchased the
2.0ghz with Superdrive, so I will also be able to turn
my media (pictures and video) into dvd's. I want to be
able to run my i* apps (idvd, imovie, iphoto) but on
my Linux/Solaris laptop.
This is a problem. The "iApps" are native Mac-Applications which does
not use X11. Therefore the display is not exportable using X11. You
can only use Apple Remote Desktop connection for this (and I don't
know that there is a Linux/Solaris port for this). There is only the
other way possible: Work on the Mac and use it also as X11-Server to
run your X-Apps remote on your Linux/Solaris machines.
X Exporting Display:
I have been able to ssh into the mac mini, export my
display and launch x apps (located in /usr/X11/bin).
The display is correctly exported back to my laptop
running Suse.
This fails when trying to launch apps under
/Applications/.....
The app will then display on the local display but not
the remote one.
The Applications in /Applications/ are normally native Mac
Applications and not X11 applications. X-Applications are normally
installed in /usr/X11R6/bin or /sw/bin (if you have it from fink).
Best regards,
Volker
