[vet-mm] Booklist Help

[Andrew Shortell]

We currently have a mac lab which has given us a lot of grief over the past two years.
Our new Sys Admin brought in someone who has made it run very well (in just two days of reconfiguring)

We run (struggle, walk, crawl?) in a Windows server environment. The macs are up for replacement a the end of the year and we are looking to put in new imacs - these will be dual boot so that when not wan ted as macs they can be used as windows and there is talk of putting Linux on them as well as a separate partition

Your costings look good

Hi Geraldine,

Thanks for this. A good starting point for us.

Take Care

Russell Curr, our Systems Administrator, did the costings etc. $1249
per
iMac + $135 to upgrade to 2 gig RAM. We currently have a MAC lab in the
Art
area which is connected to our Novell network but problems are usually
related to student*s allocated disk space so we have set up a local
username
and password. In trying to clear files students sometime delete the
MAC
profile. I think Russell said that the Novell Netware 7 should be more
suitable to our setup. Apple servers apparently not that widely used -
not
sure of reason for that. Hope that helps a bit.
Geraldine
