I got onto this list a few days ago, and as it doesn't seem to be too busy,
I'll just throw in a handful of questions... I am quite experienced with
linux, hpux and that other os-family, but I have hardly touched a mac since I
was setting up some classics (and was in love with a fx) at the university
far to many years ago....
I recently picked up a couple of 5400s on a local flea market (100 NOK ~ 13
USD) One ting I know I can use them for, is as x-termials towards the other
linux (sparc and i386) machines on my home network, but it could also be
interesting to try to get them running on the net with macos. One of them has
v 8.0, the other 8.1.
So I have a few questions:
1) What kind of upgrades are avilable for the OS? ( I Know OSX is no option..)
2) are there any / which PCI nics are compatible with macos 8?
3) What kind of software do I need to get them connected to my network? I am
presently running NFS, cups and samba, are there any (free) mac clients for
those services, or should I preferably run another set of services for the
macs?
4) xservers / telnet client, what is available?
