Hey peeps just wondering if it's possible to build a server off of a G3 macintosh computer? If anyone has any mac server links that would be cool too. Thanks just missing around, trying to learn something.
Can you build a server with an old G3 Mac?

- Start date
Actually... I would run BSD on it. www.openbsd.org
it would be the most stable, and the most powerful.
NetBSD would also work.. but openBSD has supported Mac for longer I believe.. and it's also built to be more secure (why they call it OPEN then is kinda weird)

OK sweet thanks, now can someone give me a small breakdown, like so what I install this onto my G3, then do i have to do a million things to make it live. Do i need an IP address, sorry I'm really new at this. I just want to know how it works?
there's a how-to section on the bsd site that should walk you through getting up & running
Not a problem.. if you do go the BSD route (much better choice than MAC OS, as it's designed to be run as a server..) when you get it installed, if you still need help configuring it and such, email me and I'll see what I can do to help.
Awesome i'll let you know, it will be a while because I'm working on this pitch. But thanks again.
