Hi all, Okay I have been reading this list for a couple of weeks with increasing interest. Now I have a rough plan of what I want to do with my Linux set up, and I need some guidance from all of you that seeem to be so much more advanced than me. At the moment we have a Linux server running Suse 6.1 which acts as our proxy server controlling internet access. We also have a NT network running which is our main network. Now what i want is to set up some machines that run directly from the Linux server, that run the kde desktop and are able to surf the internet. That is all they have to do, I don't want them to access the main network or run any other applications, just be able to surf the net and possibly safe files to disk. Now what i need to know is how hard this will be and what sort of hardware I need. I have a cupboard full of old 486's in various states of disrepair and was hoping to be able to put these to some use. I am particularly keen to use them as diskless terminals if possible. So now what i need is a very friendly soul or souls who would be willing to help talk me through all this, in exchange for infinite thanks and any help with web design, visual basic, javascript or any of the other things i do know about. Looking forward to hearing from someone soon Des Reynolds BBHS Lowestoft
