Re: Using compact Mac as Lynx server

    Yes, it's not a bad idea.

    But you are better off using NetBSD rather than Linux, as NetBSD has a
longer history and more stable then Linux. But I am not sure it provides a
MacIP layer over AppleTalk though.

    It took me 8 hours to load NetBSD on a 68030 machine, and if you are
installing on a Quantum Fireball 1Gb harddisk, you have be careful of an
issue that you have to get around it.
