Networking G4 and other Systems

[Amanda Ward]

Does anyone have a link to information on networking X with other operating 
systems? I'm okay with winderz, but am having trouble finding info on Solaris 
and Irix. This isn't mission critical... just trying to learn.

Thanks for any advice!

How do you mean 'networking'?

If you mean file sharing, OSX supports NFS and Samba, in Finder just  
enter:


smb://server name/share name
or
nfs://server name/share name

If you enable file sharing on the mac, either FTP or SMB will work to  
the others.
