Re: LAN Networks

Myself, I use Mandriva for all of my system needs. So, I followed this
very easy, step-by-step tutorial:

http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_server_mandriva_spring_2007

Mandriva Free can very easily be turned into a wonderful server system.
 This tutorial at HowtoForge covers everything you need to do. I took
me less than 45 minutes to get everything installed and set-up.

Mandriva also has some very useful wizards that makes system maintenance
 a breeze, but most of the stuff covered in the tutorial deals with
command line stuff... which more experienced sys-admins are comfortable
using.

I'm sure there is something there for Ubuntu users as well, you'll just
have to do a little searching.
