This is not LFS specific. But I've post to a LUG and a distro specific
mailing list. No responses even touched on the my *EXPLICIT* question --
What should I be reading. Responders insist I should want what their
identical setup. GRRRR ;<
Sneakernet for file transfer has become annoying.
Ethernet is undesirable in my environment so I am only interested in
wireless.
I have only a few machines a max of 6' apart.
My usage would typically be peer-to-peer but I want to communicate
between any two machines.
My web connectivity is via a T-Mobile WiFi Hotspot (WiFi turned off).
I run Debian 9.8.
I've just begun reading - primarily Wikipedia articles and some links
from them. My primary question is "What should I be reading?" in order
to ask appropriate questions. Specifically "What?" and "Why?" much more
than "Howto?".
A concern is security issues. Bluetooth, being short range, may thus
have an advantage. Speed is not an issue for my expected usage. (I was
one of my ISP's last 6 dial-up clients ;)
UPDATE:
Since originally posting the above, I'm focusing more on a WiFi than
Bluetooth solution. Although I did find a Bluetooth article which gave a
reasonably good description the topology/protocol I envisioned.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_area_network says in part:
A Bluetooth WPAN is also called a piconet, and is composed of
up to 8 active devices in a master-slave relationship (a very
large number of additional devices can be connected in "parked" > mode). The
first Bluetooth device in the piconet is the master,
and all ther devices are slaves that communicate with the master.
TIA
