The manuals should be very helpful in getting you up and running and familiar with it If your interested in a bit more reading, there's the 'Linux Network Administrators Guide' which can be found at these two locations (probably more) http://www.tldp.org/LDP/nag2/ http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/linag2/book/ the following is a bit shorter, but should get you familiar with it as well. http://www.linuxsa.org.au/meetings/1998-02/conflinux/index.html You can probably find thousands more doing a search on google or another site. cb> -- S.Toms - smotrs at mindspring.com - www.mindspring.com/~smotrs SuSE Linux v7.3+ - Kernel 2.4.10-4GB
