Dear Debian Guru's, Thank you all so much for the answers to the list and to me personally from my last post. I am most encouraged.
Hopefully this question will be simpler... 1) In a nutshell, what would I -really- need package wise to use old macs as X terminals w/ an application server for a web browser (netscape/mozilla) and an office program (Open/Star Office, AbiWord + others). No developer tools, not trying to use Mac-On-Linux, just DumDum stations. ALL opinions being begged for. I've tested the Apps above on the Windoze side for the last year and think I can teach the staff to accept and use them. 2) Can I use an x86 machine to be an application server for PPC clients? I think I can get my hand on a dual PIII dell server for this. (yes/no?). 10baseT Ethernet is built into the buildings & the macs already. I'm really in the planning stage for a project to test the viability of turning our OldWorld macs into "something that students can use", to quote a WIntel brainwashed school administrator. Many Thanks, -Chris P.S. I know it's not the right list but anyone know if MkLinux could make performa 5300 machines work as viable X terminals in the scenario above? I'm SO very Linux Green but willing to learn.
