Re: Running OSX 10.3 on a Macintosh Centris
That's really cool. I was going to put Debian Linux on my Macintosh SE 8MHz 4mb RAM just for the heck of it but I determined that I really know nothing about linux and should stick to extending the Mac OS for something like a web server. Today, I just got my SE/30. It is 16MHz 2mb RAM and running system 6.0.8 It boots in like 10 seconds! No joke. The machine is blazing fast. It even has MS Works and can do spreadsheets and graphs. I will admit that it doesn't do as much as my current PC (P4, 2.4GHz, 10K rpm 40gig sata hd, XP pro) but everything it does do, it does just as fast and it boots in like 1/4 the time. And it is extremely reliable. Also, the SE/30 does have color capability with the installed video card, and it will accept up to 128mb memory and like a 4 gig SCSI HD. If I wanted to, I could even browse the web with Netscape and a SCSI-ethernet adapter. This thing was made in 1991! Ah, Macintoshes are great. The more I use 'em, the more I love 'em.
