Maybe I should rephrase the question: We are thinking of getting some
Mac laptops - they seem to be popular with the laptop users here. I know
nothing about Macs but I understand I can connect it into my Linux
network, authenticate from NIS and load files from NFS4 - is this
correct or am I going to head into a whole tonne of mess? Particularly
sharing /homes.
