What You Should Know

Linux is an Open Source operating system developed by Linus Torvalds. Open Source simply means the community is free to analyze the code, modify it, and redistribute it freely.

Linux, contrary to popular belief, isn't free. It can be downloaded off websites without charge, but if you want a distribution like Mandrake, on CD w/manuals, you got to pony up some change.

How to setup a Linux router/firewall

Export services is used to route ports from your firewall to machines on your system. These can be set up through the control panel later. Hit 'n' and press 'Enter.

Press 'Enter' to continue.

Well, we are now done with the hardest part. We will now save our settings, reboot and if everything is entered properly our router should start sharing the internet.

Press 's' to save settings and exit.

Type 'reboot' and hit 'Enter' to restart our router.

Your router should now be able to share your internet connection across your LAN. This has been VERY stable for me. I have been running it for about four monthes and have only had to reboot once. If you have any questions I will try to respond to them to the best of my ability, so feel free to .

Thanks to RedShoes and Dan for pointing me in the direction of this proggy--you guys are linux freaks!
