I am testing Knoppix to see if we might be able to gradually move from MS to Linxux :P. I am learning as I go and may ask a silly question.
Please bear with me ... I am not the IT person here, just a person who is not pleased with our present IT systems. We are likely to do an upgrade over the next year and I would prefer we had a choice.
Our company is quite conservative so I don't want to change too much in the network before I can show that Linux on the desktop will work for us. All http traffic runs through MS Proxy on our server (NT/Exchange).
Is there some way to bypass this MS Proxy to the internet? I would prefer not to get into a spat with our IT guy to change the network and put a router or to put me on a separate subnet.
I am also not able to mount our file server via smb. Knoppix says that some daemon/service isn't running. I can read all the files on c:\
Can someone enlighten me?
Thanks in advance
