[FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2]You'll need a current version of Linux, such as SuSE Linux 8.2 Professional. Any Intel based machine can do duty as the server. For users just getting started an older 200 MHz. Pentium PC with 64 MB RAM and a 3 GB disk would work just fine. The server should be connected to your local area network (LAN), along with your Microsoft Windows PCs.[/SIZE][/FONT]
