- I have just installed a small network (really just 3 computers at the moment, but
- more to come) running the experimental MiNT multi-user package.
-
- It is really very impressive, even with the server running on an ordinary run of
- the mill 1 Meg ST. You can log multiple user's in and they can run several
- programs without the main console slowing down to much. Talking between terminals
- is possible, and groups/access restriction is supported. Amazing, it's just like
- using a Unix system (and I really mean that, I used the Unix documentation to set
- up the system properly!!!).

- Sorry, but this is dead dead good & I had to tell the world.......

- & MY PC OWNING FRIENDS ARE DEAD DEAD JEALOUS!!!
