Mac OS X and Debian Linux LAN research.
Mac OS X and Debian Linux LAN research.
I am currently doing the Google shuffle and am posting this to try to
make sure I don't miss something important.
I recently expunged Windoze from the PC on my LAN and installed Debian
Etch (testing, kernal 2.6.12-1-686, Gnome desktop) GNU Linux (I feel so
much cleaner now :-) My eventual goal is to do ObjC/Cocoa type
cross-platform software development using GNUstep.
Preparation though involves getting the now isolated Linux box back on
my LAN. Two considerations are file sharing (of course) and capturing
system images of the Linux system in my Mac restoration strategy. On
the Linux box one of my backup techniques is Mondo for bootable DVD
system images, and the other is g4l (ghost for linux) with which I can
clone to a local HD and/or image the Linux system to another system via
ftp (vsftp suggested by g4l).
There are two internal 80GB HDs on the Linux box, and two internal 250GB
HDs plus several external 250GB HDs (used for alternating clones) on my
PMac G5.
I'm thinking NFS or ? and strictly avoiding Samba/NetWare/anything
windoze related.
Any pointers and opinions would be greatly appreciated :-)
Thank You,
