First I want to say a heart-felt Thank You to Ryan, Mike, and Doug. Between the three of you guys and your various comments and humor - I'm making the leap again. This system needs to make the leap of replacing my current linux server which runs sendmail and pop, dns for a couple of domains, apache with php3, and of course a firewall. With your help and input - I hope to transform this box into exactly that replacement and document the entire process. Perhaps this will help some folks as well. Step #1 - www.freebsddiary.com has an unbelievable amount of information. People had referred me to it previously, but I would look at the first page, see some articles, and that was it. Holy Shit, I never clicked on "Index". I had no idea all that info was available. Step #2 - I just did a reinstall (via ftp) of 4.2-RELEASE Step #3 - I'm getting some sleep and hitting this hard tomorrow morning Step #4 - I'm installing bash. I like bash, ALOT. It's 10x better than csh. Besides, it easy :) Step #5 - I dunno??? Do I create the CVS thingie and update the sources? Do I recompile my kernel in preparation for natd and firewall? What do YOU recommend? So I don't scare you away - I don't need hand holding and step by step instructions. But occasionally things get buggy and I need a step in the right direction. Is this corn-balled or is this a decent idea? I can end up posting everything on a website or submit it all to diary as we progress.
