I managed to get a free 400mhz G3 PowerMac today and want to use it as a server of sorts. I currently have an external firewire HD that stores music, movies, games, apps, etc that I hook up to my PowerBook. I want to take that HD and drop it into the G3 along with another nice size HD (yes I'm aware that I have to upgrade the PCI Controller card to do it) or two to store all my movies, music, tv shows etc on. I don't really care for using it for anything else. I want my powerbook to be the computer that controls the G3.
I've got a NETGear wireless router that's got 4 ethernet ports in the back that I can plug into as well so networking shouldn't be a problem.
Pardon my ignorance, but what do I need to do in order to make it into a "Server"?
