Give us details about your network and I guess we can help you setup your network ;)
Thank you, Dinesh. Well ! All the systems are PIII 600 with 128MB RAM and 20GB or higher config systems. The highest config is P4-2.4 with 256 MB and 40 Gig. Presently we connect using RConnect and the FWT thing. Speed is acceptable.
Yep, all of this is possible with GNU/Linux. First, choose the distro you would like to use for the server and clients. I would recommend a more "user friendly" distro for the client PCs while a more functional(read: server oriented) distro for the gateway. I guess you have all the networking infrastructure already.
I know it is possible. Presently we connect using RConnect and the LG FWT thing thru one of the computer running Win XP. Speed is acceptable. Kinda planning to use RH9 as it is working great for me and looks ok also ( as long as you what you do is writing documents and spread sheets with mail and a bit of chatting). I dont want to debate about the distro.
What I am more interested to know is the chatting thing. I want to learn more. How to setup, what to do next, evrything.
rgds,
