I am attempting to set up a computer lab as part of my chemistry lab. I can

running either OS 10.2 or 10.3. The machines will be networked using cat 5e
cable and ethernet switches with a wireless router. Any advice?
Are these
machines reliable?
If you're going to be running OS 10.2, then it doesn't matter. If
you're going to be running 10.3, then go for the 400 MHz iMacs, IF
they have DVD drives since OS 10.3 requires a DVD drive to install.
(OS 10.2 comes on CDs).
10.4, Tiger, ships on a DVD, Panther is available on CD. Panther
machine installer disks are DVD.
