Alright, after first failure, i will ask before i do..

[Welllam]

I want to do these things with my linux server:
1. Share my university network, where there is only one connection in my room.
2. Setup a counter strike server
3. Website server + FTP (just for my clan)
4. Mail server (Prolly like 15 users only)

1. how to do the network sharing? (I think I can find the way to do it here)
2. I downloaded the CS(counterstrike) installlation first in *.bin format, but it doesnt run at all. Then I downloaded a patch in *.tar.gz. How can i run those files?
3. Which software is good for website and ftp?
4. which software?

Thanks for helping me out! ^3^

What distro are you running??

1.) I would try man files and searching google.

2.) CS should have some installation instructions. If not then extract the patch and try looking at the README file. I know nothing about .bin files.

3.) Search this forum for FTP and Website help. Plenty of people have asked about FTP servers. For example http://www.justlinux.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=99712&highlight=FTP+server

and

http://www.justlinux.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=99415&highlight=FTP+server

4.) http://www.justlinux.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=97027&highlight=mail+servers

hope that helps you a little.

1. If you have 2 NICS+hub; plug 1 NIC into the wall connection, the other into the hub, your mate(s) into the hub. Enable port fwd in the firewall/network files. See www.tldp.org (The Linux Doc Proj).
2. for a .bin file, 'su -' into root, then use chmod to make it executable, then run it eg ./filename
3. webserver=Apache (!) :) ftp; try proftpd
4. prob sendmail or postfix.

You'll find HOWTOs for almost everything at www.tldp.org .
Good luck
