Yes, you are right, these are Mac as in Apple Mac on a Microsoft and IIS blog. I was given a eMac running 10.3.9, I have NO idea if that is old. The box is a single processor, 256 MB of RAM. After a couple days of hacking around, and some assistance from Mac Forums IRC channel, they helped me add an admin user account. I know nothing about Macs besides my iPhone, does that count? I know more about FreeBSD and the internals than a Mac. Here are some links that helped. Now I want to figure out how to remote control this thing from my laptop (yes it’s currently windows). I’m primarily a server guy so I remote all the time! Stay tuned..
