Question

How do I network macintosh computers to a linux server?

Answer

The Apple Network Server (ANS) was a short-lived line of PowerPC-based server computers manufactured by Apple Computer from February 1996 to April 1997, when it was discontinued due to very poor sales. It was codenamed "Shiner" and originally consisted of two models, the Network Server 500/132 ("Shiner LE") and the Network Server 700/150 ("Shiner HE"), which got a companion model, the Network Server 700/200 (also "Shiner HE") with a faster CPU in September 1996. They are not a part of the Apple Macintosh line of computers; they were designed to run IBM's AIX operating system and their ROM specifically prevented booting Mac OS. This makes them the last non-Macintosh computers by Apple. The 500/132, 700/150, and 700/200 sold for US$11,000, US$15,000 and US$19,000, respectively.
