Which is the leanest MS Server OS which will provide roaming profiles on 5 PCs?

98 won't get you roaming profiles, for that you need domain logins which only a domain controller will provide. You have either Windows server class OS's or you have linux, but since you're talking windows, you could get whatever version is available. 2k would probably do what you want, and...

Setup a mail server

Then nix the sendmail talk. Don't know what NT/2k has, I think there's a low overhead server in IIS, nothin like exchange, but just mail. You will probably still want to look at the MX record part though, that helps the other person's mailer or SMTP server know where to send the mail data to.

self made firewall specs

Although the discussion of ipf/iptables capabilities is really cool, really, to toss some fodder to the original question, there are some things that will kill your firewalls performance. We tested running a vpn tunnel, can't remember exactly what, but I think it was ipf and solaris 8's vpn...

Setup a mail server

It's pretty easy to set up something like sendmail to do mail serving for whatever you have. I believe you have to set up your MX record in the DNS for your domain to point to your hostname. I haven't done it for a long time but I have one for my dyndns domain and it works. Your server config...

VPN out from behind a Linux firewall (RedHat 7).

If you were using iptables, I could give you the exact line to add to your firewall script. Is the 2.4 kernel in 7.0? I can't remeber.. But, what you need to do, most likely, is add a rule that forwards protocol 47 through. It's not done automatically by the standard pass-all rules. Protocol...

Is one of these TS solutions any more/less secure than the other?

So do you have a 2 firewall setup? One outside the DMZ and one doing fw/routing duty for the internal? If that's the case and you have other DMZ hosts then #1 is less secure. The reason being that if you have another box get hacked in the dmz it could then have unrestricted access to the TS...

Hung on RedHat 7.2 bootup...

Are you sure it's actually hanging or just pausing for a really long time? Gotta ask, sorry. If you have another drive, install on that and mount the first drive and look at the log files. It's most definately there. ...and for gods sake, get rid of telnet, and I'm guessing wu-ftpd too.

IPTables question.

As long as you exercise diligence on what you have on your computers, you'll be fine with a default output accept. If your incoming rules insure you won't get hacked by random ports you may have open, then you watch the services you expose for problems, you're doing as good as you can do...

Networking slows down Win98 Boot

That's a well known issue, although your time seems a little long. I'd believe a minute to a minute and a half though. The reason is that your network card, unless you've set the tcp/ip stack to use a static IP, is looking for a dhcp server. When it doesn't get a response from one, it has to...

How should I arrange my partitions for Solaris9 on Ultra2?

Occasionally... like when installing tape backup drives and your manager puts (or was going to put anyway) the backup script in the /tmp dir ;) I could be wrong on 9, it's like that for 7 and 8. I seem to remember our SSE telling me that too before I checked the df once.
