Wahey, I'm there! It's taken me a week but I'm there. I haven't got my new
machine yet but I was so sure that I'd set my linux partition up right on my
machine I stole a customers machine and added a network card etc. I've got
everything working apart from samba (didn't have time) and news (this needs
some thinking about).

Thanks for everyone's help, it proves that if you are prepared to read a lot
of how-tos and ask a lot of stupid questions you can get there in the end.

I'm going to write a website detailing my accounts in case any would be
linux users have the same idea as me.

PS One other thing! Sendmail, I've upgraded the rpms and it's working fine
except "masquerade as", I've followed the how-tos and man pages etc, it
looks right, I've m4'd it and ran newaliases but it's still putting out
localhost.localdomain instead of hot-shot.demon.co.uk. Is there something
I'm missing ?
