Good start...
Authored by: legacyb4 on Jul 29, '02 03:00:12AM

Good start to a tutorial. He's covered the basics and now only need to add in a security side to the tutorial to get cover all bases.

I've configured my home machine as a private access Web server as well as allowing for Timbuktu over SSH for remote access to my machine directly. However, I've stopped one step short of bringing my domain home due to sheer security and bandwidth issues; also, no matter how you look at it, do you really want the world on the doorstep of the machine that you use on a daily basis for personal affairs?

Even on a reasonably fast DSL line, upstream speeds are still limited compared to what a proper ISP can offer you... out here in Tokyo, NTT (the national phone company) is just starting to roll out FTTH (fiber to the home) with stated speeds of 100Mb (downstream) and 10Mb (upstream) for only a fraction more than ADSL which might make it worth considering.
