I hate the guy that just registers and starts a thread without even an introduction..
But I need your help, and you probably don't want to be bothered by it anyway.
<--Mac noob. I've had a G5 for almost a year.
Problem: I don't remember picking a filesystem when I 1st installed it[10.4].
Anyway, I do have some interest in running X-Windows apps on my Mac. Do I need to use the Unix filesystem in order to do so?
And if so, can I just designate a UNIX partition so I can tinker around? I used to be a novice Xfree86 user and would like that option available.
Should I make my primary partition Mac OS Extended and save a little room for UNIX or vice versa? If the only thing the UNIX fs affects is OS9 apps, I'm not terribly bothered by it(though I'd like to retain the option).
Sorry so longwinded. Thanks in advance for any advice/suggestions.
Looks like a well established site and hopefully a great resource. :mac:

- I'm doing some housecleaning and I want to do a clean re-install of Tiger.
