Yo Guys
The names Brian and I'm an absolute newcomer to Linux, although I have =
to admit to being a Windows user and programmer for too long now!!. I =
had intended to attend your last meeting but unfortunately I had to be =
elswhere.
I do voluntary work at an airfield and I am contemplating a project =
using Linux. At some stage in the near future, I would like to be able =
to build a small, secure LAN, using a mix of, say, 6 Windows/Linux PCs =
initially, until those using the system can be trained!! I have built a =
spares tracking/utilisation database in MS Access that I would like to =
see ported to MySQL or similar. The whole point of the exercise is to =
have a robust & secure network, that doesn't require a large outlay in =
licenses and being forever on the upgrade treadmill.
This is a big project as far as I'm concerned and I realise I have a =
huge learning curve in front of me. Can anyone give me any tips on how =
to go about this please?
Thanks
Brian
