All you need is any spare PC and the redhat cd (just download the ISO image
to a win box and burn it on a cd or you can buy it). In terms of programs
you want, the software that comes with the redhat distro is squid for proxy,
you can use Sendmail and POP services for mail, and bind for dns. There is
documentation for all of these programs but i find it better to go out and
get some books. One book i bought IMHO is the greatest book for setting up a
redhat server. It's SAMS "Redhat Linux 6 Unleashed" written by David Pitts
and Bill Ball ISBN # 0-672-31689-7. (Here it is at amazon.com:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0672316897/o/qid=962293181/sr=2-1/104
-4059604-2720717) Excellent book. Step by step instructions for setting up
theses services.

Subject: Serving with RH 6.0
Hi all,
This is my first post on the list, after my first day subscribed to it i got
some 133 messages, but never mind, all of the information is helpful, i've
just started out, i know nothing about RH, but i have heaps of experience
with Windows.
I am looking to set up a linux machine that will be able to connect to the
internet, and via a LAN would be able to ridirect the connection to all the
computers that choose to use the internet through the proxy. What program
should i use? Where can i get it from? How do i get it to run/configure
and where would i be able to find some useful documentation??
I also have another question would it be possible to set up a mail server to
send and receive mail (e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED]) via a linux machine
providing the machine is on and always connected?? and again what program
should i use? Where can i get it from? How do i get it to run/configure
and where would i be able to find some useful documentation?? And is the
assignment of your own DNS hard to do??
Thanks all who read this, most appreciative of your thoughts and comments,
Keegan Buckley
