First of all, Linux will be running of PowerMacs this summer, and Macs can already run UNIX with MachTen or AUX, so that leaves Windoze and OS/2. Lets talk about networking in general (and leave out unix, linux, and OS/2). A Macintosh is 10 times easier to set up for and maintain on a network than a PC running any version of Windows...not to mention that all currently shipping PowerMacs come with 10-base-T ethernet built in. -- David Hassell dhassell@emerald.tufts.edu Tufts Varsity Crew @diamond.tufts.edu Residential Computer Consultant, @cs.tufts.edu Area Supervisor http://www.tufts.edu/~dhassell/crew.html
