I'm looking for some general info on setting up a linux network ... I understand the basics of TCP/IP and ethernet, but I've got no expereince in something like this. Basically I'm setting up a network on which only one machine will have an externally-visible IP address, and some of the others may get masqueraded through it, but I'm mostly concerned that the machines be able to talk amongst themselves.
For example: Is it better to buy an ethernet hub than to simply put a couple of cards in the gateway machine? Are there other considerations? The gateway machine will also have to be a news/mail/web server, 'cuz it's the only one anybody outside can see... If anyone can point me in the direction of some good docs for something like this, I'd be appreciative.
