Hello all,
I just installed Mandrake 8.0 to be used as a gateway for my home network, because I
heard it was really good for newbs like myself. (Actually I have been working with
*nix OS's for about a year now, but it was always as a user on someone else's box.
This is my first stint as an admin, which I am very psyched about!)
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone could tell me (or point me to a site) about the main
configuration files for setting up my NIC's/firewall etc. I know that there's netconf
and linuxconf, but I'd like to have more control over what they are really doing:
setting up some config files. Plus I kinda feel like I am being baby-talked by those
apps. I'd rather just know what needs to set conceptually, and the syntax for making
it happen. I am more comfortable working from a command prompt anyway.
Anyway, thanks for any help you guys can give! I knew that if I posted this to /. I'd
get my head ripped off!
-Jason
