[aclug-L] first plunge

[phrostie <phrostie@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

i've been using linux for quite some time but never used it for more than

a desktop/workstation.

monday i went by the salvage place and picked up a 50 dollar dell 4-66.

i'm planing to start building a home file sever for me and my wife.

the dell already has a network card but my current work station has none.

when i did my install i chose dial in ppp only(my old machine).


i have a very old network card, thomas-conrad, arc-card/at copyright 1987.

is this even useable?

what will i need to do to my current machine to prep it for a lil network?


i'm new to this side of linux so i'll be asking a lot of stupid questions

thanks
