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?
