After I had put this message to the "comp.sys.mac" newsgroup I thought it
will be interesting to hear opinions from the Sun community. So, here it
goes. Sorry I didn't "cross-post" it.
Our local sysop is a bit worried about adding Mac-II's in our network of
Sun-workstations. If you had the choice between getting a Sun on your
desktop or a Mac-II which one of the two would yopu prefer and why?
Currently our network consists of a number of Sun-workstations in an
Ethernet-network. Seen from a Sun the network presents itself as one
integrated system. The filesystem, e-mail, printers etc. are completely
transparant no matter on what machine you are working.
o How will the Mac-II present itself in such a network?
One of the disadvantages I see is that the Mac-II's will need their own
UNIX-binaries, but I think we can live with that (because we already have
Sun-3's and Sun-4's and a HP-workstation....). But.....
o Can the Mac-II's operate with one copy of the UNIX-binaries
from a file-server?
