I have been trying to set up linux in a box with a p100/32mb which will dial
the ISP and handle mail and IP connections for a network of 5 pc's at our
school.

we need local mail pc to pc and mail collected from the isp.

each pc may access the net from time to time.

we had a command line system running using debian which constantly dialled
up as soon as the system disconnected.

we tried every kind of configuration to no avail.

so we decided to try again using mandrake because we had the cd's

we don't seem to have enough grunt to run mandrake

so can someone recommend which distribution we can use which will work,
enable us to run mail and connection sharing, and can live with the p100
32mb. [there is room to put dram in but no $'s to buy it!]

or do we have to go to build from basic kernel.


email replies direct to robert@pnn.org.nz as well as the newsgroup
appreciated.

if this is the wrong place to post my apologies.
