Are there *any* internet services runnable from powerpc
I'm still thinking I'd like to provide some internet services from my power mac. I have my own IP address and the folks at network services said they don't mind if I run a WWW server, and they will even change the name assigned to my IP address if I don't like it. So it sounds to me like I can provide internet services. I hesitate to run a web server because I hear there are lots of security bugs and I won't subject my mac to that. I am looking for a unix emulator that is freeware for the macintosh. I was directed to one apparently freeware unix platform for the mac by someone on the cypherpunks list, but it says it does not support ethernet which is how I am interfaced. I have a power mac 7100 with an ethernet port to the internet. Does anyone know if I could, for example, get scripts for Eudora to snarf mail and run a keyserver, or set up an anon remailer, or do anything at all remotely cool and for the betterment of the crypto/privacy/pgp/etc. services available to the internet public? I could leave my mac on 24/7 serving up services. When I'm debugging code it might crash, but I suppose there should be fail-safe systems. It doesn't seem like I can do much unless I buy a unix emulator, and I don't have the money for that. I'm a student.
