I don't know about Linux (anymore) but I do have a Mac Classic (1 MB RAM) that can run Minix.
And a Mac IIci running NetBSD as a NAT box.
I did set up a Mac file server (Mac Workgroup Server 6160) with Linux, once the previous Mac tech was... disposed of. Part of her daily routine was rebooting the server every day as a way of reducing crashes. Once I set it up with Linux, it just ran in a closet, gathering dust. Was some form of Linux targeted just for Macs. Had some HFS stuff for mounting drives and such. Was back in '97.
I was the ugly American driving the wrong way up a one way street in Rome, in '93. After circling the area the car rental place was in, several times, I came to the conclusion that all roads led away from it. Took a chance and managed not to hit anyone or get stopped by the Police.
Now, the guy on the Vespa, that was hit by the old guy gawking at the topless beach, that was my dad.
Yup, after burning up a cheap Black and Decker drill last summer (purchased in '83), I ponied up the bucks and got a Bosch drill. This one better last so that my grand children can use it!
Oh yeah, any ideas on what can be done with the hardware from an old drill? As soon as I smelled smoke, I shut it off and a little smoke did come out. It still runs but I don't want to put any load on it.
If only Steve Job's Mom had sat on the same national United Way board as that VP from IBM, in charge of their desktop computer division, back in the early 80's. And if Job's Dad had also been an Intellectual Property lawyer, able to help come up with the contract for developing an OS for IBM compatible computers. If only...
Not sure. I've never read any of the Dummies/Idiot series of books. Am graphic design/art school drop out. Found out early on that I like fixing computers, rather than actually working with them. Still, a couple years of schooling has stuck with me. And I really liked typography. Font use and how to drag the human eye around a page are like magic!
One thing I do with documentation like this is bold/highlight key words; usually server names, commands and such, so that experienced users, who know the overall process but don't remember the specific data point can skim over things and grab the data they need. Is much easier than having to read through entire paragraphs of directions to find the server name they need.
Simple visual cues, like having overall descriptions of process in full justification and then inset the actual step-by-step instructions can also help.
SMAC/X is still working ok. 'Course, I had to track down a past developer of the Mac version to get a carbon version of the game engine to get it to work on an Intel Mac but no crashes in the last couple years. And it's on 24/7 on my home machine.
Per Road & Track, my '70 Impala Sport Coup's trunk is large enough to carry 14 suitcases or a dead horse. Would that mean an Impala has a 1/2 Mammoth cargo capacity?
If Superman and the Flash were to race around the world (on foot), and they passed on either side of 'Captain Obvious AC, the Whooosh! they made would not compare to the one Captain Obvious just experienced.
Don't forget, Bill G got his knickers in a twist, back in the old HomeBrew days, when folks started copying some Basic software he'd written, that he was trying to sell. With his dad a major IP Lawyer in Seattle, it's somewhat understandable why he's so hot for keeping control over things, only allowing users to experience data, without actually touching it.

Ah, that explains the spherical white helmet.
Wasn't that some animated movie that was big back in the early 90's? The dubbing was kinda' bad but cool animation.
...every douche already owns one.
I don't.
Gold plated cables are outright fraud.

Yeah, that was a major complaint of porn back then.
Heh.
I miss Infoseek (later go.com). Was a pretty decent search page.
Am lucky; TampaBay area was test market in mid 90's for cable modems. Sweet, sweet internet... and Giffy Girls!
