To answer your second question first, RedHat doesn't have a Macintosh (or PowerPC, more specifically) version available. If you want to install Linux on a PPC, Yellow Dog (http://www.yellowdoglinux.com/) is the most popular PPC distribution, to my knowledge. To answer your first question... It depends on what you mean. Are you asking if you can share them among different computers? If so, then yes. OS X and many Linux distributions come with Samba for MS-Windows-style filesharing. Many Linux distributions also come with Netatalk, which implements Appletalk-style filesharing. Are you asking if Linux will read files directly from the Mac's hard drive? If so, then yes, Linux has experimental HFS support. -- Bill Jonas * bill@billjonas.com * http://www.billjonas.com/ "It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your front door.
