[tech] beige, poobrown and stuff

[James Andrewartha]

I've got poobrown working again, by making piggery a slave nis server on
the clubroom network. However, it's rather lacking in shells, and has no
compiler, so is rather useless atm. I've also resurrected beige, and it
seems to be fairly happy atm.

The freshers have been playing with netbooting the iMac, and got it
working eventually. Mac OS 9.1 was reinstalled so it could boot off the
hard drive again. Netbooting Mac OS X was a failure, so they ripped out
its hard drive and stuck it in nautilus and installed from there. The hard
drive is now back in the iMac (which has been christened tangerine) and
they are configuring Mac OS X as I type.
