network installation for school
does anyone know an orginization in natal , south africa who can install a network of 10 computers using linux.thank you.
IF you are feeling really good. The experts here would be happy to talk you through it. Of course you would have to up the points of the question. But when done you shuold be able to fix most problems your self. :)
or just order the redhat unleashed book that will have everything that you need.
1- Buy a 12 or 24 ports hub/switch
2- Do the internal cabling using CAT5 cables.
3- Install linux on 10 PC.
4- Assign each of them an IP address using a private class C.
5-Plug all the cables in the network card.
Voila !!
Things that you might need to do later:
-mail server/pop server
-DNS (since you only have 10 computers, maintaining a hosts table would be easy enough).
If you plan to connect to the internet:
-Choose an ISP
-Register for a domain name
-Buy a router
-Install a firewall ...
-Pay someone to put all these things together :))

A Linux box makes an excellent router, and a Firewall.
