|
<P>Some unused piece of delicious hardware floating around on my desk.
|
|
Screaming to be used. 40 MB of
|
|
ram and a 403 PPC inside.
|
|
<P>So I decided to give it a try and connect it to my local Linux network.
|
|
<P>In this Howto we'll be dealing with an
|
|
This Howto started out with a
|
|
IBM Network Station model
|
|
8361-100, other models were added afterwards
|
|
<P>We also have some additional info about the other 2 models. The
|
|
8361-200 (Model 300) and the 8362-A23 (Model 1000).
|
|

|
|
<P>
|
|
<P>I'm trying to describe how I setup the NC, there are probably lots of
|
|
other ways to set up this machine, however this one works fine.
|
|
Any other remarks you might have from your own experience are welcome.
|
|
(Hardware is also welcome ;-))
|
|
<P>This Howto is not trying to be the Bible on NC's and Linux, it's
|
|
trying to get you started. Contributions to this NC are most welcome.
|
|
<P>During the past year I have received numerous comments on the HOWTO and lots
|
|
of help from other people (suprisingly a lot from inside IBM). I've been
|
|
busy,
|
|
therefore now is the first time that I'm trying to do a real update of the
|
|
HOWTO. Most people are asking me about Linux binaries to extract the
|
|
AIX distribution file. I have heard about an internal IBM project that is
|
|
going on there but I have no accurate info on that matter yet.
|
|
<P>
