How do I create a Knoppix Server, and network the computers.

Hello,
Knoppix-NooB, here, I have Knoppix 3.2 on CD and installed on two computers (I'm also downloading 3.3). I would like to create a Knoppix Server for a Knoppix LAN. I have no idea how to do this.

Computers specs range from p233mmx 64mb RAM to p3 600 256mb RAM, at the moment they have a veriaty of Operating systems ranging from Debian to Win98/2k/NT. I was thinking of using a Celeron 400 128Mb ram as my server but if you think I should use something with a bit more punch please let me know.

What I want the server to do. I would like the server to be a file repositary, an e-mail server where the other computers can access and get their e-mails from, and also to be the conduit for the internet, we have a cable router. It would be great if we had a central database of users, and default desktop displays, which could be held on the server??

Anyway its a bit over my head, like I said I have two comps running installed Knoppix but I can't get them to see each other even though I can see the net!

You guys (and gurlz) are life savers, many thanks in advance,
George~Youth 2000

Well I managed to find the answer to the problem, somewhat, if anyone is interested....

I had to return to my good-old debian roots to find this website, but it has the answer, and I have to admit I am very tempted to return to the old system simply because of how good the guide to sorting out the problem is.

Debian is very good.
