2.0.28.
I am running my setup on an old 40Mhz 386 and 8Mb of memory, 3 SCSI
drives
totaling about 1.2 gig. SMB is running and serving as a file server as
well.
I am supporting 4 users (light traffic).
Hints:
1) Get kernel 2.0.28 - the latest stable kernel that I know of
at this time.
2) Before configuring the kernel, link to
http://hwy401.com/achau/ipmasq/
and read up on IP masquerading - there are some kernel configuration
options you will want to know about. In particular, you need to turn
on
firewalling, IP forwarding, and IP masquerading. (I initially tried
using
socks, and didn't like it. It's another option you may want to look
at.)
Also, if you intend to use diald to supply dial-on-demand, you will
need
to turn on SLIP in the kernel, even if you always use PPP.
3) Speaking of diald, take a look at
http://www.dna.lth.se/~erics/diald.html
for information relating to this utility. I like it, it works for
me. I
don't know if it will be useful to you if you are using ISDN.
4) File server - you might as well turn on the smbfs filesystem option
and
install samba, especially if your Linux box has a bunch of idle disk
space.
If nothing else, you can store old zip files there, or something.
The home
page for samba is http://lake.canberra.edu.au/pub/samba/samba.html
5) If the published doc isn't enough, drop me a note and I'll try my
best to
help you out.
Good luck!
