uh... what's going on? your network is an experiment, with a goal being a some sort of proxy with acces to the internet? are you using broadband? you can save some pingas if you use LEAF or something on an old machine, it fits on a floppy so you don't need a HDD, just connect it to the web and your home network (server), just don't switch it off lol- you can use this as your firewall, who's gonna hack a floppy?? and why?
that's one down... what are you going to do for the main file server? Hello All, I was wondering whether you could give me some advice on setting up a home network with the following considerations…. 1. It is just an experiment 2. Mix of Windows and Linux What I have quickly mapped out is the following…. Dedicated box for MNF Security Dedicated box for FTP & Fileserver (linux) Dedicated box for domain controller Dedicated box for Apache (PHP) Dedicated box for IIS (ASP) 1 windows client machine 1 linux client (debian) What flavours of linux would you suggest for each task? I was thinking FreeBSD for FTP/Fileserver and Apache, any good?
