This may need to be in the Question list, but, I am a Newbie looking for guidance. I am getting ready to start a small company. I do not have the money for the licenses needed for Microsoft Products. I have several computers that I will be able to upgrade and use as is without the need to purchase new ones. The machines are all PPros with 128 megs of ram and 4 gig hard drives. I have just purchased a Box Set of 4.4 along with the Toolkit and Greg Langhey's Book. I have also purchased Mrs. Anderson's Book as well. Will these two books be everything I need to setup my LAN for everybody to be able to get mail and surf the net from time to time? I have enough extra machines, I think, to setup various servers if needed. If I need to setup multiple servers, which ones will they be and why will I need them? The ones I think I will need are a firewall and a mail server. I will be doing all of the setting up and testing myself at home before I take the system live at the office. The main reason for me using FreeBSD in this application is that I have read that it is Bomb Proof. It may take some doing to learn BSD, but it is worth the time. Again, thanks for your time and if I posted in the wrong list, my apologies.
