Linux is becoming more and more popular in the computer system / telecommunications industry. Buying a Linux operating system is a relatively simple and inexpensive task, as you can download almost any source code from several different FTP or HTTP sites on the Internet. Additionally, you can buy the latest version of Red Hat Linux in computer stores for $ 25 to $ 50, depending on whether you buy the standard or full version. The retail brand is actually a worthwhile investment (compared to free versions of FTP or HTTP), as valuable technical support is provided directly from Red Hat engineers for at least one year. This can be very useful if, for example, you are unable to resolve the installation / configuration issue after consulting the Red Hat Linux manuals.
This article describes how to build a LAN (LAN) consisting
of two or more computers running Red Hat Linux 6.2. A LAN is a communication
network that connects different devices to each other and provides a way to
exchange information between these devices. The size and scope of a local area
network is usually small and covers one building or group of buildings. Modems
and telephone lines are not required on the local area network and computers
must be close enough to be able to connect to the internet.
For each computer participating in the LAN, you need a
network card (NIC) to which the Internet connection will be connected. You will
also need to assign a unique hostname and IP address to each computer on a LAN
(described later in this article), which requires a basic understanding of TCP
/ IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol).
