Dear Sir
I am new to this operating system and became interested when I started to
look at a solution for a network set-up. I do not know if I will be able to
master this OS because I grew up with Windows and know nothing about UNIX OS
systems. With windows I at least can help myself and find my way around.
I need to set up a server that host an Internet (POP3) connection for three
different networks that must not be able to communicate with one other. Top
security is needed. The reason is this is a Teachers training collage, the
one network is for the admin department and another for the staff and lastly
the student network. Just by the way, will this modem connection be able to
handle about 30 computers on the network. I know that an ISDN connection
will be better but presently we do not have anything ells. The server that I
would like to set up should be able to record all student activities in the
sense to monitor the web pages visited and the printing that has been done
plus to forbid certain printings such as web pages.
What do you suggest me to do, start from scratch and study a UNIX system or
face the Windows server package.
Yours truly
JC Botha
