I want to second this wholeheartedly. However, take Robert's advice to heart. I think if you try to learn this stuff without a experimental network to try things out on, you'll either drive yourself mad, or simply fail. If you're serious about doing this, it's worth the $$$ to invest in 4 or 5 used computers to learn on. You really need more than one if you're going to understand how things interact across a network, and you want to have at least 1 computer that you _don't_ experiment with, so it's always reliable to use for email or searching for docs on the 'net. And I agree with Robert, that if you're serious about wanting to do this, you CAN accomplish it. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
