Just the facts:
Appleshare 2.x will not run if you install system 7 on the server machine.
Leave 6.0x on the server. 

Appleshare WILL service both 6.0 and 7.0 clients, no problems at all...
The only important thing is to upgrade everyone to the printer drivers
that come with system 7, they work well under system 6.

Hey trust me, I've got system 7.0b4 and a network--
