To All,
I am looking for advice and links to more info on the following:
My sons school has about fifty pc we need to network.
We have a DSL line. We need to have web access and file services. E-mail is
also a possibility.
I think we need two linux boxes.
Box 1 will be firewall/proxy server. Two NICs, one with IP from DSL
provider, other to switch for network.
Box 2 will be file server (running Samba) and DNS server (do I also need
DHCP?)
Workstations are mostly Win95/98 but also have a few macs.
I am looking for software suggestions for firewall/proxy server (Squid?
Socks?).
Should I split firewall and proxy between two boxes? If so I have an older
pentium I could use for firewall.
If we go with e-mail should I put that on a seperate server? If so what type
of hardware?
I have found information on the detailed setup issues involved with some of
the software (squid, socks,firewall) and have experience with SAMBA. What I
need is real world experience on what works best and/or is easy to set up
and maintain.
Any links or advice is greatly appreciated.
TIA.
