Will .Mac (dotMac) trial work with Linux?
Hi

I've reserved a Mac for me to pick up. I'm currently using Kubuntu Linux as my main OS. Will the .Mac trial work with that? I'm mainly interested in trying iDisk for backups.

Thanks

Before I switched I tried .Mac on Windows, I'm sure I can remember using a web interface for the iDisk feature, so yes you could use iDisk that way.

.Mac will work with Linux, as it is all in the web browser.

iDisk however, is integrated into OS X, and I'm quite sure it doesn't work with Linux, unless there is a browser-based upload, but I'm not sure.

iDisk uses the webdav protocol as far as I remember, so it'll work with suitable software.

I just signed up.

I guess this means my transition to being a Mac user has just begun (even more so when I pick up my Mac).

Thanks
