[sf-lug] Mac emergency Help

[Dennis J Harrison Jr]

have the fileserver host with afp and nfs

look into getting something cheap like a qnap ts101 or anything that
will support nslu2

it will support everything you need on first boot

You could also look into macfuse and dokansshfs if you want to deal
with config per machine (and you most likely don't :)

Hope this helps

Macs have been Intel CPU's (Intel Core Duo) for about 2 years now. I also know that some G4 (and fewer G3's) will run leopard (OSX 5) and some will not, depends on the system. Also, from this site it seems you need to use NFS and not Samba:
