So I was perusing craigslist and found a DT G3 300 and MT G3 233, I've always wanted a one of those MT G3's, so I got them both for 30 bucks. I was thinking of using the MT as a file server. Got any tips for setting this thing up? The MT is has maxed out memory (I think like 700+ megs). I have a copy of Panther server, but from what I've found, I need to check the ROM version before I can install it on there or something. I was thinking about swapping a the DT components into the MT since it has a faster proc and maybe overclocking it, i'm still trying to get info on that. Anyone have any suggestions? I also thought about putting linux on it, I've always wanted to play around with it more.

Thanks!
