Thanks to John and all the others who replied. Beside getting my home network up and running I was curious to find out if RH's usability was as bad as I thought for this sort of things. Unfortunately it is.
In conclusion: I am going to have to RTFM because I don't want to use windows, I want the computer to be accessible from the outside, and I don't want to buy more hardware. In windows any semi-idiot can make a little home network just by clicking on "share internet connection" in the network setup. The bad thing is that without installing a decent firewall (and paying for it) the computer has no security and it is completely exposed to viruses and attacks of all kinds. I can not think of any good reasons why in Linux it should not be possible to set up a simple network as easily as in windows and have also good security. I have seen many small offices with such insecure windows networks infested by viruses. RH folks I hope you are reading. -daniel On Wed, 2003-07-09 at 00:37, John Fox wrote: > The attach -- ______________________________________________________________________ Daniel Dui [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dept. of Computer Science (+44) 020 7679 7192 University College London http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/staff/d.dui -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
