I deal all day long with cheap computers at work. I mean 350 mghz computers that are sssllloooowwwwwwwww, have strange errors all the time and generally work like crap. They cost my company so much money that they would hit the roof if they realized. Believe me, Macs would be a bargain compared to these pieces of shit. Celerons are fine, but those K-6's have weird network errors with ipx/spx installed. Buy a good MB (Asus P2B), and a fast HD. Under 10ms seek, at least 256k of cache and ULTRA DMA or SCSI!!!!!!!The extra $200/pc is the best money spent.
If your computer is using Open Transport (OT) 1.1 1. Open the AppleTalk control panel. 2. Go to the Edit menu and select User Mode. 3. Select the Advanced radio button and click OK. 4. Click Info. 5. The hardware address is displayed in the AppleTalk Info window.
C is the basis of C++ (A real hack job of a programming language held together with baling wire and duct tape to give C programmers an OO language (it's not a real OO environment, but an incredible simulation!) without having to learn a whole new language.). If you think C++ is so great for things like kernal programming then look closer at why Win95 crashes so much. Did you ever notice that modules don't always load in the same sequence? Saying that C is dumb just proves what an asenine egotist you are. You don't understand the basis of the tools you are using. There are very good reason's why 1. kernal programming, 2. embedded systems, 3. low level devices are done in C and not C++. Java will one day surplant C++ as the standard OO design platform and not a day too soon. When that happens, C will still be used widely for many tasks which are unsuited to Java. If you don't understand these basic issues, then I recommend you go back to Visual Basic programming and leave the system programming to people with more brains than you have.
This MacKido guy has his head up his arse. I thought Carmack was impartial, right on (especially about memory management. It's 1999 fer pete's sakes) , and actually quite optimistic for the Mac. (I use 'em all. They all have their strengths and weaknesses. Mac memory mgmt sucks. Windows postscript sucks. Linuks GUI sucks.) so what. Mac postscript is great. Windows 3d is great. Linux stability and configurabilbty is marvelous. If you got em, smoke em.

boot from CD into KDE. Pdisk and install from KDE.
Mandrake Power Pack or SuSE?

aargghhhh!@*&*^##%.
I can't make up my mind.
Good-bye Red Hat. Helloooo Mandrake. I think I'm in love.

Just give me a small footprint. Maybe a Netwinder.
I guess I'll stick with LinuxPPC and Sheepshaver.
