I don't have any experience with networks/servers/security/anythingcool, but
I've been wanting to learn, so I recently acquired a super cheap super crappy
system. I've looked around a bit on the net and finally decided to just ask
you folks straight out: what exactly do I need to do to connect these
suckers? For just two pc's do I need a hub/switch? Eventually I probably
want three, anyway, so when I will need a hub/switch what do I want, how much
should I expect to pay, where can I get it, do any of you have any old ones
you can let go for way cheap? Where are some good server configuration
howto's? I installed redhat 9 on it (it's a PII 350 system -- actually not
THAT crappy, though it has no video card. Oh yeah, that's another thing. I
can snag a cheap-o video card off the net, but I was also wondering if any of
y'all have an extra old-school video card you no longer have a use for. This
little beauty is modern enough to have not only PCI slots but an AGP slot.
I've been swapping my video card back and forth from my main system to
configure it, but that's really a pain and I'm scared I'll ruin my good
card.) Also, how exactly would I go about accessing my other box "remotely"
via ssh and/or vnc or something of that nature, so that I don't have to worry
about an entire second set of peripherals? Thanks,
