Dear Seniors,
Greetings!
First of all, please accept my apologies on forwarding my friend's book site
email to the list.
Secondly, I'm considering to setup a test network (sort of cyber cafe),
using Linux as proxy server, for which I need my senior's reviews/guide
lines/tips.
Kindly guide me the stuff that I'll be needing, and what should be the best
network layout for minimum of 5 workstations/nodes and at maximum 30
workstations/nodes, excluding the server(s).
What are the issues that involves in obtaining Best Performance from a Linux
network setup?
What are security issues involve in such networks?
Can I also setup Parallel Backup Server(s) for the Main Proxy Server?
What Operating System, should I use for Workstations/Nodes considering
normal enduser insight (Linux, Windows 95, 98, Windows NT, SCO OpenServer)?
What I have in my hands are:
1. RedHat Linux 5.1 (do I need to have RedHat Linux 6 or higher?)
2. Proxy Server Machine (Simple Pentium I, with Intel-200MHz, 32MB RAM ->
will soon get a PIII, 450MHz)
3. Workstations/Nodes/(Backup Server(s) - Optional) Machines (ranging for
Intel 486s 100MHz - to - Pentium I Intel-200MHz)
Any Help/Links/Pointers will be highly appreciated
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards
-Kazmi
