Hi All,
I have two Classic SE Macs and a Performa 540, my questions are - 1) Can the two Classic's be networked for file sharing, if so how ? 2) Could you install a Linux Dist on the Performa Macintosh ?
Hi Ian, not much traffic tonight.
!) You know how to setup appletalk don't you? Built-in filesharing using a cable between two printer or modem ports? If not, include the MacOS version each mac is running. This makes the explaination you'll recieve much clearer.
!!) A performa 540? Is that the correct model #? Debian or netbsd are quick choices and reasonably up to date, basiclly cli only for a on topic mac. There are others with varying forms of usefulness. If its a pci mac your choices expand, a cache card and ram are recommended - so in a nutshell yes but it aint fast or pretty. If you run a linux box you can run xdm (its late) sessions in a window on the mac, great fun but limited to the macs slow ethernet.
Wow, lots of words and not one answer, sorry bout that.
