Workstation should be next

Now that I'm about done with the server, I'll get that thing moved over behind a shelf and start playing with some workstations. I'm going to have to replace my hard drive, so I'm going to buy 2 smaller drives and dual boot. This topic it to figure out what I need to do.

I need to do the following on Linux, so I need to troubleshoot. First, I have a SCSI Zip drive that I want to access. There's also my Palm III. So need the serial ports. The GPS uses the other serial cable. The HP Laserjer 6i printer is on the Parallel port. Sony CD writer.

I know that there is software available in linux to send files to the PDA. I feel certain that the serial and parallel ports are not a problem either. I do need to figure out how to move GPX files to the PDA.

I've changed my mind about the server. I want to write up the procedures on how I got it set up, so I need to rebuild it. I also want to see if Samba is included in the main build. That way I don't need to load it up seperately.

I started writing up the procedures last night. This is going to be a work in progress. I need to srite some of it as I do the work. Once it's all finished, I'll make it headless and then secure it. It's not that big a deal since it's a stand alone network.
