I have a computer sitting in the Tanner Building that I am setting up as a
server... I have some questions/issues that I have been dealing with and
really haven't found answers...

1)   My IP Address kept changing every week

I suppose this is because I am using DHCP to obtain an ip address.  I
finally set a host in the /etc/hosts file and now my IP Address seems to be
staying the same... is that the proper way to get a "sticky" ip address
using DHCP?  (or is my ip address going to change again?)


2)  How does the whole uug.byu.edu work with phantom.byu.edu?  I have a neat
textbook exchange program that I would like to make available to BYU
students (for free), but I don't want people to have to type in
http://mycomputer.byu.edu/~textbook, I'd rather they type in something like
http://text.byu.edu...
(Similar to the way the uug page works... uug is actually running on phantom
as a user right?  How do I set this up?)

I'm new at linux...well... I know how to use linux, but I don't know how to
trouble shoot or set up.  (I have spent the equivalent of 5 months working
on linux every day...so I can use it, but I don't know a whole lot... my
knowledge is scattered).

Thanks,

Nathan Given
