I am gathering information on setting up a Linux
based web and e-mail server using residential DSL service. I am a
newbie to Linux so bear with me. I guess my first question is if anyone
knows about a commercial release of Red Hat called "Super Auk DSL" http://www.wholelinux.com/index.html
They claim ease of use for newbies like myself thru web based "wizard" type
configuration and their software includes a firewall, router, etc and can run a
LAN using only one static IP address. What are the
advantages/disadvantages to using a software package like this? If I
choose to install a generic version of Linux myself and do all the configuration
for such a setup, how long will this take me and how much do I need to
know? Can anyone direct me to "step-by-step" information on this subject?
