Hi guys...

i'm going to do the follwing as a 1st step,

i got a Debian 3 (woody) basic 1 CD and i'm going to have postfix as the
SMTP relay.... the BOX is a Cyrix 233Mhz with 64MB ram, (Compaq Presario)
4GB HDD with 2 Lan Cards

i'm going to install Webmin 1.5, and also DHCP for Debian that comes
with Debian (on the web site) 

do you gusy thing i can do this with a basic Debian instalation or
should i download all other CD's from the site ? now the commands like
setup on Redhat dont work, how come ? do i need to install any thing
else ?

leter on i'm going to install a 2nd HDD and Squid and BIND and some AV
for the email relay, and the RAM to 256MB.

if any one can give me the basic how to do this, or a link to some sites
(Linux for Dummies :-)

i know i sound really dumb, well i really dont know much about linux
sorry !!!
