I need advices on how to configure a server/router using my new ASDL internet connection. ( ..... Long term objective is to make this router my network server with Linux OS to serve my current machine (B) and a future machine (machine name: X). ... Note that I also plan to install HTTP server, Samba, File server, and more ) Short term objective (if realistic) is to set up a machine (A) as a server (gateway) which will also act as a firewall for my second machine (B). I plan to connect these machines through NICs with twisted pair RJ45. Machine (A) config: 486SX66 - 8 Meg ram hd 1 gig - 2 network cards---- 1> Dlink PNP model (?) --- 2-> 3Com model 3c503 512k Ram on Graphic card - VGA/EGA Trident 9000 I plan to use my ADSL connection (connected to my 3com 3c503) to install RadHat by ftp using bootnet.img diskette. - Is it faisable ? - If not, what other solution I have ? - Is this hardare sufficient to support XFree86/Xwindows installation - Is redhat a good choice for server setup Any suggestions, comments and questions are more than welcome.
