You have in house security guys that can tell much more about. The home networks on this side of the big water are usually designed around routers or router+modem combos. Configuration is pretty straight forward and has not much common with SUSE so it probably will not find place in first articles in LfL, but eventually it has to be taken in consideration as some configurations have to be explained as they are not intuitive at all. > > I'm not sure what exactly was meant under "make System Administration a > > part" My guess would be something like this: > > System Administration (book or part of the book) > > Network Configuration (chapter) > > Home Network (subchapter) > > Network with Router > > Network with Local Server (your article) > > Is this what you meant. > > Right.

Assigned, provided, furnished (is a bit unusual, but still correct). The stipulated is legal term.
