Since I got my cable modem, I have had lots of chances to
experiment with some of the "cool" things in FreeBSD.
So far, to date, I have done the following:
- Set up a gateway / firewall to the internet. (lost many nights of sleep
over that one...)
- got a "real" domain name for my machine on a friend's domain (I just
couldn't live with the mile-long "@home" domain name)
- set up SMTP and POP3, got my very own MX record. (thanks in part to the
latest issue of "Daemon News")
- Set up a simple DNS server
Now if I can get my hands on another pc with some disk space, I will try
setting up an NNTP server - has anyone tried DNews for FreeBSD? I have
set it up at work on NT with no problems - hopefully the same will go
for the BSD version.
Having a static IP opens up so many possibilities! I feel like a kid at
christmas!
