[NMLUG] sparcstation 5

[timothyemerick at yahoo.com (Tim Emerick)]

Hey Gang.  

I've obtained a Sun SparcStation5 with 5 sun thin clients.  It has a 2GB
drive and probably 128m ram.  Also has an external SCSI tower with 5 CD
drives in it.  It's former life was an automotive parts catalog system.

I would like to turn this into something that my kids and their friends could
come over to do homework/research together.  Browse the web, OOo,printing
support, etc.

I tried to fire it up today but no luck.  I don't know if I need a particular
monitor for the server machine but my standard testing 17" monitor didn't
give me much luck.  I WAS able to get the thin clients up but of course they
couldn't do anything without a TFTP server.

I've never tried anything like this before so any suggestions, pointers, or
weblinks would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!!!!
