    i'm new, so first:
    hi all,
    i was wondering if there's any chance to run a powermac g4 with osx
    10.3.9 as a web server just using apache that panther has as a default.
    is a machine in the place i work and would be great to have access to it
    not necessarily staying there..
    i have no problems with a lan, but outside of that.
    probably these are basics for who is into it.. even just some good links
    where i can learn would be great.

    many thanks in advance

    The standard Panther install comes with everything you need to run as a webserver. Read the installed tutorial to get started. Apple makes it pretty easy.

    Sure. All it takes is going into Apple Menu->System Preferences->Sharing->Services and check "Personal Websharing".
