SiN_SiN Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Can some one please help me to create a linux server? I would like to create a home office network which operates the same as my collge network! At college I can acess my personal area from any computer within the college network, I dont have a clue how this is done, but I do no that the server is running linux but the computer operating systmes are windows. Please help as I am a novice. Thanks in advanced :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
