Hi Manuel, Yes - you can do this and there are absolutely no problems with licensing as far as the Linux software is concerned. Any Linux machine can be a server to as many clients (or peers) as you want to hook up to it. There are practical limits of course. The only area where there might be a problem is with the your Internet connection. Does your contract with your ISP allow you to connect that many computers to their pipeline? This is a completely separate issue from the Linux licensing. If this is a dial-up account you may find that sharing it with more than two systems is almost useless. -- Jeff Kinz, Open-PC, Emergent Research, Hudson, MA. [EMAIL PROTECTED] copyright 2003.
