Kiosk on a Quadra 650 and Slink?
I work for a Nature Center and they have an old Quadra 650 laying around. I
saw the Kiosk HOWTO and told them I could install Linux on this computer and
run a computer Kiosk. After poking around a bit I'm not quite so sure this
is possible at http://www.mac.linux-m68k.org/development/macspecs.html
they have the Q650 listed as "?" for booting also no "ADB" support, what is
that exactly? I run Debian on my Intel machines at home and would love to
use it with this computer. It has a 500 mb scsi hard drive, over 100 mb of
ram, 33 mhz processor. Basically the computer will have to support a
website served by Apache, running a Netscape browser and that is all. I
would plan on installing from a CD-ROM. Do you think running a Kiosk is
possible with this machine and Slink? Would it be stable? I keep reading
that the kernels are unstable with the Mac distro. Would there be any
reason to wait for Potato? Please cc me as I'm not on the list yet.
Thanks,
kent
