I want to network 2 computers off of my host. (One for each of my kids.)
Right now both new boxes are windows only. I have a couple old hard
drives that I will install, one in each box, to use for Linux. I want:
1. Both computers to be able to dual boot using lilo, Linux as
default, with a super-bare-bones Linux install, (See #3.)
2. Use static IP addresses for all 3 machines, 127.0.0.1 for
mine, 127.0.0.11 for the first dual-boot machine, and
127.0.0.12 for the second.
3. Linux to boot its files systems from my host over the
network, so on upgrades upgrading the main box will update
all 3.
4. A common password system, where all passwords are maintained
on the main box.
5. Each of the 2 boxes will have it's own /home/$user directory
(to save space on the server), the main box will have all
other user directories in its /home, and /home appears
identical on all 3 boxes, so one can login on any machine.
6. Set up things to that the 2 kid's boxes have a `time window'
when they can be connected to the Internet, (not 24/7.)
7. Limit instant messaging, as above, to certain times of the
day, and set a quota of how long per day they can use IM.
8. Keep a watchfull eye on what they're doing, and what they're
viewing.
How do I accomplish all this, in what order? Exactly which howtos can
help? I don't even know where to begin!

``Christianity...[has become] the most perverted system that ever shone
on man....Rogueries, absurdities and untruths were perpetrated upon the
teachings of Jesus by a large band of dupes and importers led by Paul,
the first great corrupter of the teaching of Jesus.''
--Thomas Jefferson (Third president of the United States.)
