Re: [aclug-L] Setting up my own server...

Patrick:

Check out the Linux Documentation Project, including the various
"How-To's".  That site pulls together lots of information about how to
do different things with Linux.  I started from scratch in November and
set up my office server.  It is, however, still a work in progress and
not as ambitious as yours.  Mine provides, File/Print, Mail and internet
to users in my small office.

I also got lots of help and tips from this list, thank you very much!

Also see the Linux Gazette, and back issues.

Good Luck.
