Finally, It Has Started!

So this evening I began the server project!

I installed Mandrake 10.0 using the nifty graphical install program. I installed most of the packages I will need, including IMAP, NTP, and Samba. It came up just fine. (except I'm not sure about DCHP. It seems to be assigning the same IP address for this machine and the desktop.) I'm using it now to compose this post.

I'm not going to work on it any more tonight, but I'll start work on configuration tomorrow - starting with NTP.
