Does anyone have any experience setting up a linux box to be used as a file and proxy server for their lab. It seems like the lesser of a few evils, which may include novell and NT, neither of which I am terribly keen on adopting. I'll still use win 98 on the workstations and I believe that I can linux to emulate an NT box with SAMBA. hardware wise this should be the least demanding route, although I anticipate some compatibility issues. Any recommendations? will this offer me the compromise of price and performance that I'm looking for or is this just a recipe for headaches. Which version of linux seems to be the best to use? How is apache web server, etc. Also, is there some nice educational software developed for linux - I'm aware of the browser from Netscape and the Corel WordPerfect suite - but I'm most likely to keep our windows workstations because of the investment in language lab software. Your advice is appreciated. Sincerely, Patrick Davis General Manager Study Abroad Canada
