This subject interests me, in that I was thinking of moving my main Mac
from the current G3 AIO ("Molar") setup running (flawlessly!) Panther
to a G3 Beige Server. I'd maxed out the memory on the Molar, and was
thinking of switching it to the Server.
Should I expect trouble?
I sure hope not!
I was planning on doing it later today!
So far, OS X 10.3.9 works wonderfully on my Molar. Never a freeze.
Never lost a thing. Though occasionally a browser (Safari and Camino
both) go down.

Thanks for the info Clark, can I have some more?
You say you had problems with osX, what rev were/are the G3's you
tried it on? My beige (got the spelling right this time) has a rev 3
board. Were yours earlier versions, hence the trouble?
Can you tell me what set-up you have on the machine running os9 so I
can weigh up the options available to me.
Many thanks, Ivan

Hi fellow listers,
I'm thinking about using my old biege G3 300mhz as a web server,
installing Jaguar or Panther (with XPostfacto) on it.
Do any listers have any experience of using a similar set-up and how
did it work out? I'd like to know what server apps you used and any
other info that would be useful to me.
I have a Beige G3 running as a server under OS 9. None of the Beige
G3s I have seem stable enough under X, either Jag or Panther. They
have a tendency to freeze at random.
I do have a B&W G3 running under Panther as a server. I have DHCP,
DNS, FileMaker Pro, iTunes, Darwin QuickTime Streaming Server and AFP
running as services on it. I use Webmin to control / administer DHCP
and DNS. It all works pretty well. DHCP doesn't (yet) start up
automatically when the server starts. I'm also having trouble
getting DHCP to recognize client IDs and assigning static IPs
accordingly. I'm also looking to setup VPN and NTP services.
