Hey all, I'm a bit of a dabbler as far as OSes go, and I've installed my share of Linux distros (Redhat, SuSE, Mandrake PPC, YDL, Debian, gentoo-ppc) and I was sure to say this when I got to school and applied for my job at ResNet/Campus IT. Come to find out I am the only other person who really knows anything about Linux (and being that money is scarce free is looking even better.) They told me today (my 3rd day on the job) that they wanted me to install my favorite distro on a machine that was to be a BIND "caching" server. The other guy who knows about Linux said he wanted it chroot jail-ed and configurable by webmin if possible. Being as how I am mostly a desktop user and have only had server wise setting up and configuring apache, ssh, and mailman this has me a bit nervous. I have decided to go with Debian (Woody, Sarge or Sid I haven't decided but I'm obviously leaning towards Woody). Do any battle hardened guru's have advice / pointers before I start? Anything really would be greatly appreciated. TIA. -- Thomas Leonard <ike6116 at mac.com> AIM: ike6116
