[thechat] Linux on a network

[Kevin Stevens]

Hi all
       Hope you had a good Xmas :)
My New Year's resolution to learn Linux is in full swing. I have got a copy
of Mandrake 8.1 installed on one machine which is one of 3 on my network. We
have also splashed out on a cable modem, installed on my Win ME box, and I
have the software for a second Windows machine to share the connection but I
can't seem to get the Linux one to do it. I have run through the wizards to
no avail, any of you Linux gurus have any ideas? This is only a temporary
measure until I learn enough about Linux to set up the machine as a gateway.
And while I have your attention, does anybody run SETI on a Linux machine
and is it easy to install?
