Re: ISP shopping list
I think there is a HOWTO on setting up a small ISP somewhere... check
http://www.linuxdoc.org/ for it.
However, AFAIK that howto talked about Redhat... and it was old (last time
i check... maybe a couple of years ago).
So you may want to try and find that if you want... just as a point of
interest and reading.
Then, as Russell detailed below, go with Debian and install the software
he mentioned. Debian makes it easy... just type in "dselect" and you can
see a whole bunch of packages you can download. Just select the stuff you
want (besides the stuff below) and let it do it's magic!
Sincerely,
Jason
