But when I try to do something a bit harder such as making my server a gateway with 2 NICs and an ADSL-modem (PPPoE requiring version), I get stuck a bit. I think this is partly because I don't have much overview of the OS itself yet. The handbook is usefull, but more as a how-is-it-done thing, not really to get an overview (imho). Can you recommend me some good books or (rather) online resources? Greetings, rene http://www.business2.com/articles/2000/02/content/getalife_3.html When your central nervous system is wired to a computer, time bombards you like surround-sound in an action flick.
