Dear, Janus.
It's technical possible, but the answer very much depend on, what sort of applications you use today.
First of all I'm doing some web design, programming with PHP and mysql - which are already supported by MacOS X. But I'm missing some things, first of all easy connectivity with my PC. The only way to communicate is by using my iBook as an FTP server. But I'd like to use Samba instead. In the future I'd like to get rid of my whole PC-Windows system by replacing everything with Linux. So I'm going to have two Linux systems running in my LAN with one OS and the same software. Then I'm missing a personal information manager for OS X with all the features and none of the bugs of M$ Outlock and German language suport. I'm missing several software components which are already supplied by SuSE 7.3. However, since I've received no negative feedback yet I'm going to try it out. If anyone's interested in the results, send me an e-mail and I'll post my experience to the list. Thanks for answering me. -- Wolfgang

Uh?... a little bit off topic, but... Mac OS X does have SMB support (you have updated to 10.1, did you?:-). Or you can install samba on it, if you want: you can do that directly from source (provided that you have already installed the developer tools), or get a pre-compiled, packaged version from http://xamba.sourceforge.net/sambax/index.shtml regards nicola

I'm using just the same hardware (iBook 600 DVD)... Althouh I'm lacking SusePPC 7.3 at the moment, I'm very interested in how to install it on the iBook. I'm aiming at having the choice between three Operating Systems: Classic MacOS, MacOS X and Linux. I'm looking forward to reading about your exoeriences on the mailing list...;-) Regards, Christian -- Christian Schmidt schmidtc@chemie.uni-hamburg.de
