Dear visitor,
welcome
at my web-site documenting technical equipment (hardware,
operating-systems) application-programs and organisational guidelines
for a small enterprise !
However you might be guided to this web-presentation, by mere chance or by recommendation, you will find documentation about the following fields:
Technical
equipment: Hardware-equipment
and operating-systems suitable for a small enterprise.
The
described equipment is used in my own enterprise and I installed
similar configurations in other small enterprises, too.
Application-programs: Computer-programs that fulfill task to enhance the functionality of the operatins-system or support an user to master standard business-processes.
Organisational guidance (do be developed): procedures for handling routine-task and exceptional incidents; in particular smaller or bigger 'catastrophies'.
If you are able to derive some suggestions for your own business I am pleased !
The
system-administrator:

The
'Router' handles the connection between the internal network and the
internet.
To achieve the connection to an
Internet-Service-Provider (ISP), a modem for an ADSL- /
DSL-connection (Asymetric Digital Subscriber Line / Digital
Subscriber Line), a modem for a cable-tv-network operator or even an
older modem for a dial-up-connection can be used.
Additionally, this machine can be used as a printer-server and a telefacs-server accessible by all workstations on the internal network.

The
following tables list, ordered by topic, links to detail-documents
covering the following subjects:
► System-Applications
for the Router
► System-Applications for the Server
►
System- and Business-Applications for a Workstation with Linux

System-Applications for the Router
Applications
running on the Router are not directly accessible by an user.
Their
purpose is to provide 'infrastructure' (connection to an
internet-service-provider, making printers useable for all
workstations, etc,).
The following list shows the links to the
documents with installation instructions of individual
system-applications – but is not a requierement-list to install
all of the listed applications.
The selection of the applications
to install depends on the demands made to the Router (e.g.
internet-connection, providing printer-services).

If one or more
printer are connected, the fitting driver(s) must be selected and
configured. This document also covers a text-based installation-instruction. This is helpful when no GUI (graphic user interface) is installed. That might happen, if a 'weak' powered PC is used as Router. |
* Operating system Linux (RedHat Version 8.0 or higher) installed |
