Re: [newbie] file server
English might not be my native language, though, I don't see what it has to do with this. I thought this list was called Linux Mandrake Newbie, iow, a list for people that arn't that good at linux. When talking to people that are new to linux, it's easier to use "microsoft" terms for them to understand. // Mattias - Original Message - From: "Daryl Johnson" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 10, 2001 3:12 PM Subject: RE: [newbie] file server If you meant the one after the 'let' then I did but I made allowances that English is probably not your first language.

RE: [newbie] file server
Yeah I agree with you Matties Gee at the moment I'm getting more than 50 or so mail a day and I'v been reading most of them but to me it sound like a place for the experts and not the idiots. For those who do read this no harm as I'm sure when I begin to understand more linux it will all make sense. -Message d'origine- De: Mattias Segerdahl [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Date: mardi 10 avril 2001 15:46 :[EMAIL PROTECTED] Objet:Re: [newbie] file server English might not be my native language, though, I don't see what it has to do with this.

Well, makes a change from TCP/IP ;o) Daryl Johnson Proplan Associates "NetBEUI is shipped with all versions of Microsoft's operating systems today and is generally considered to have a lot of overhead. NetBEUI also has no networking layer and therefore no routing capability, which means it is only suitable for small networks; you cannot build internetworks with NetBEUI, and so it is often replaced with TCP/IP."

RE: [newbie] file server
Look Mattias I might just as well ask didn't you see the smiley on my comment? I have offered you a public apology but if you do not wish to accept it then we can carry on the argument via e-mail as it is clearly something that does not belong on the list. regards Daryl Johnson Proplan Associates

[newbie] file server
My uncle is wanting to designate a computer as a file server at his office. He wants his employees to save their work on the servers harddrive, and he wants the server to automatically back the files up on a second harddrive that is inaccesible from the other computers. Would this be difficult to do under linux? Where could i find information on how to do this? and how powerful a computer would be needed to handle this (i'd think he has between 10 20 computers)? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
