Hi, all.
I had an idea, related to the recent topic related to getting SSHD running.
It might be nice if we had a set of howtos regarding common configuration items for NeXT machines. 20 years ago I knew a LOT about the NeXT but my memory has atrophied. As such, I recently had to ask about how to configure printing from my NeXT VMs.
Wouldn't it be nice if we had a collection of howtos that describe things like:
- setting up the mail subsystem
- using the Mail client
- configuring printing
- filesystem connectivity to Mac OS X (Mac side and NeXT side) and/or Linux
- setting up SSHD
- others?
A collection of useful applications would be nice too. Again, 20 years ago I had a nice collection of software, but I don't think my WriteNow or WordPerfect disks work anymore, and I "lipo"ed most of my apps when all I had was a m68k NeXT -- and I regret that now that I have only Intel VMs. With the notable exception of m68k-only Improv, I think that most of the software I had would've worked if I hadn't lipoed it... if I still had access to it.
Thoughts?
I always wanted improv and illustrator.
Nowhere to be found. A modernized browser would be great, on a VM, it would perform fine.
I will help with how-to's, but most are actually here. It would be redundant.
Just needs to be put in one place.
