This HOWTO will explore the concepts and configurations for establishing a fully functional Internet connected network environment for your home or small office. This setup uses a dedicated Linux server as the gateway device to provide all of your network connections, Web / Email / FTP servers, packet filtering firewall, and most of the other services required to configure and secure a complete small scale network.
This documentation is developed specifically for the Fedora Core versions of Linux, however the configurations will still be suited to most Linux distributions that use the same applications and configuration settings.
