Forgive me if this is a stupid question; I�ve never networked multiple Mac OS X machines before.
For almost six years, my wife and I have been using our beloved beige G3/266. It�s a bit slow by today�s standards, but it runs Jag 10.2.8 quite smoothly, considering.
Yesterday, I purchased a very gently used dual-2GHz G5 (including Panther and a whole bunch of software) from my former employer! Needless to say, we are extremely excited about this, but it brings up an interesting issue: we would like either of us to be able to log into either machine at any given time and everything to be there. Is there a way to synchronize the accounts across the network so that if, for example, I add something to my desktop on one computer it will show up when I log into the other? (I know M$ Windows networks can do this; I�d really hate to think Mac OS X can�t.)
What I�d really like to do (if this is possible; it probably isn�t) is store the user accounts on the G5 and have the G3 access them from there. The G3, after all, is using about 7.65GB of its 7.99GB system partition and sometimes gets bogged down; moving all our prefs, mail, etc. off of that partition would probably be quite beneficial.
Thanks in advance!
