I have a really old 386 that is running win 3.11 and It was set up to run on a network before (dad bought at a auction), it was a police computer. I have another computer, 166 with over 100 ram (not sure how much anymore, got from friend... it's running Mandrake or RH. I have SuSE, RH, Slackware, Mandrake, and can download any other version that is recomended. I like Slackware but my network card will only work with RH. The 386 has no network card (either was taken out or they use the parallel port). With all that said I want to know what is needed to make the 386 a terminal running totally off the server (loading a remote 'OS' and all). Will I need a network card or is it possible to use the parallel port? All hardware needs are my first concern. I'm searching for the 'technical' info on how to set up software side but I have no clue on that right now either so if you wouldnt mind commenting on that It'd be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tuskin
