boss picanin,,, a few Q`s for the expert!!
were did you get your Mandrake from and how much did it cost you?
are you able to network a xp and a linux compters on a home network using a crossover?
what about a shared internet conection?
and when it comes to comps i know basics but that is about it!
Lance my dear departed proxy was a machine called Homer. Homer ran Linux and was used as a gateway to the interent sharing the connection with various other bits of Windows hardware as well as running as a file, web and email server. So that basically says that everything you needed to know aboutup there is possible. You would need two network cards in the box but it would very easy to have it work at sharing a net connection. Mandrake is avaialble from various websites as well as off magazine cover disks. Let me know if you ahve problems finding it.
