Hi folks,

I'd like to install NetBSD for Macintosh on my Performa 600. However, I 
wonder whether I'll be able to use all the applications I know fairly 
well from Linux already. Is there a version of X11, TIN, PINE, XV, Telnet, 
Mosaic, Netscape for NetBSD for Mac?

Can I build up a LocalTalk LAN between my PowerMac and my BSD-Performa? 
TCP/IP, I guess, right? I don't want to use a seperate monitor or keyboard 
for the BSD-machine. Is a LocalTalk-TCP/IP-connection fast enough for using 
telnet instead?

TIA!

Markus
