Hi sluggers I have a Alcatel Speedtouch Home ADSL modem linking my win98 box to Telstra. (SMC 100 Mbps NIC).
I have another box (Celeron 500 MHz/32 MB Ram/350 MB Hard disk) and want to install a minimal Linux on it: 1) I want to host a http download site. I develop in Delphi and allow my customers to live-update from a http server. 10 x 1MB files max. 2) I want Linux as a firewall/proxyserver for 2 win98 boxes. 3) I want Linux to fetch mail from various mailboxes and deliver it to the correct win98 box. Or even as a full blown mailserver. 4) Instead of a hub I want to use 3 network cards in the Linux box, 1 for the ADSL and 1 for each of the win98 boxes all linked with crossover cables. Q1: Is this feasible? Q2: Which is the best distro(s) for the above? Q3: Is it possible to do it from the commandline only (no GUI)? Q4: How do I connect to the Telstra ADSL line?
