To make it easier (For nOObs like me :-P), I downloaded WEBMIN. You can create virtual NICs from a web interface and its REALLY easy to setup and monitor... There are also TONS of other system related utilities that come with it. Like user management, server management (APACHE, DHCP, MYSQL, ect..ect). I think its a must have for any *nix admins that is REALLY busy 95% of the time...
