Suse and macintosh

ajanam · 04-22-2007, 06:02 AM

hi...
I'm new to Linux.
I just installed openSuse 10.2 on my PC a few days ago. I want to share files with my Powerbook G4 (running Tiger OSX 10.4..). Setting up Mac is easy. Suse can see Mac. But how can I set up Suse so my Mac can see its contents?

This type of posts are quite many these days. Your option is to use Samba server on your linux machine which will allow you to export the file system onto any windows or MAC box.

Go to this link or search on google for samba setup.

The native way to share files between UNIX computers is NFS.

Also you can use Appletalk, authentication may be easier with it. In particular if you are not familiar with NFS.
