Is it possible to set up a desktop pc as a dedicated server and then have computers on the network log in to i
booieh asked:
I was just wondering if there is any possible way to set up a desktop computer as a server and then have computers on anetwrok log in to it instead of logging into themselves? and if so would this work with an apple laptop trying to log into a windows server/desktop pc set up as a server?

it is possible but more than likely you would have to set your computer up to run Redhat or something on your comp, and many many many many many more complex things.

Well, of course you can set up any computer as a server.
It’s simple to set up a central file sharing system.
As long as that’s your objective it shouldn’t bother the Mac either. They can cope well with talking to Windows servers. They can also host Windows networks, so you might consider using a Mac for the server (it has better security han Windows).

The type of difference between desktop pc and reliability you are trying to accomplish but as hardware goes any pc and reliability you describe with windows and linux or osx not.
For performance and linux servers running on old desktops.
