[newbie] Linux machine in an NT environment
Hi all, I have setup a laptop in an NT environment and I would like to be able to swap files directly, just as I can with my last remaining Mac. I haven't a clue where to start. I have an NT Worgroup with 4NT clients (all running NTServer4) one Win2K laptop and a Mac with MacOS9. Any pointers? If it helps, I can use SMB to connect to a network printer within the workgroup.

[newbie] Linux on an NT network - and more
Hi all, This is my first post. I have Mandrake 7.0 installed on my 'docked' Dell laptop. I want to be able to print via ethernet to either of my network printers. Ethernet is working as I internet access and Apache is serving up the basic fare (so far). Can anyone tell me what I need to do (in plain English please) to get either of these printers to work for me (HP LJ4MV[Postscript] and Apple 12/640PS Duplex)? Also, The Mandrake was grabed from a May 2000 Mag CD (PC Plus - UK). Is there any advantage in downloading the v8.2 ISOs and starting all over again or will this do me fine? My main aim is to have a LAMP setup with PHP. MTIA George in Edinburgh Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [newbie] Linux on an NT network - and more
Dave, Thanks for your response. Are these true network printers with their own IP address, or are they simple shared printers attached to a PC? Either way, Mandrake has Printer Setup tools to do the job, you just need to know what type of network printer you are setting up. They are 'shared' printers without ip addresses, so please advise on how to activate them. If your hardware can handle it, I would definitely recommend the upgrade to 8.1. Since 8.2 is still beta, you might want to wait a bit for that. I am running 8.1 on my IBM ThinkPad (laptop). Specs: 366MHz Celeron, 256MB RAM, 4.5GB HD, and using ReiserFS. It is quick and stable, much more than I can say for the Win98 which was originally on the box. The Dell has a 366P2 chip with 128Mb RAM and a 6Gb HD. I'm coming from Mac (unstable) and WinNT (v stable) environments towards Win2K and Linux at the same time (new laptop). George Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] LinuxMandrake on a Mac
I've just ditched my Linux-mac in favour of Mandrake on a now surplus Dell laptop. I did manage to get LinuxPPC running on both a PPC7100 and 8100 but storage and memory were too limited to do anything worthwhile. There are resources out there for early Macs. Try a Google search for LinuxPPC or MkLinux.

Unfortunately, they are all for New World machines, i.e. iMac, iBook, g3 tower, etc. Mandrake Linux is the only one that has shown an interest in backward compatibility, but they are only trying to support PPC machines NuBus and older are out in the cold. There was an MkLinux that project that Apple was supporting, but I think that Apple has closed the project since Jobs came back. IMHO, this is an area that is unfortunately neglected by Linux developers. There are a lot of frustrated Apple owners out there that no longer have an upgrade path since Jobs returned. This includes clone owners, like myself (UMAX Pulsar - Euro S900). In the Intel world, you can get Linux running on something as old as a 386 with no problems, as there are a plethora of various Linux flavors. END RANT ;-) I hope you have some luck, but to frank, I doubt it. That is why I am migrating to Linux on a new PC system! Cheers, Brian Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
