Hello, I am currently in a tough situation. At my house I have seven Macs
Here is what I have and what OS its running:
iMac 10.5
Mac Pro 10.5
PowerBook G4 10.4
MacBook Pro 10.5
PowerMac G5 10.5
eMac G4 10.5
iMac G3 10.4
As you can guess..It is very hard to exchange files and backup all of these computers. (They all have important information on them)
I have thought about buying an Xserve G5 for all of my backups. But I was hesitant about compatibility issues. Does anyone know if there are any? Also, does every Mac need to have OS X server on it to be connected to the server?
I would like to exchange files wirelessly also.
Basically, I would like to have all seven of my Macs to be connected wirelessly to some sort of "base" to backup files. Also at this "base" I would like to have control over what these Macs do.
Another question I had was, If all of my Macs do require I had OS X Server running on them, could I still use iLife and such Applications on them?
Sorry this is such a long post. Any responses will be greatly app.
Thanks
