Thanks for the Reply!

Since I'm a nix enthusiast ;and not just trying to accomplish a task , I would like to get some experience with Plip. I have been digging into this subject because I was going to study Apache but networking is important also and I need a network to do this.. With Windows it looks like there is a hardware faction and a software faction to networking so I tried to find some (Network Manager) info. My distro has system-config-network 1.6.1 and as you may have guessed there is no option for plip. There is one for Tokenring but I can't find even remote info on that subject that is close to practical. So it looks like Network Managers is pivotal to this venture that I can download and configure. If I can't acquire a Manage for Plip than I will have to go another route. I'm not totally apposed to a NIC but it is not my first choice.

My client computer currently has and outdated version of Fedora but is working well. I have a lot of applications installed on it and no problems as of yet so I will be leaving this O.S as is. For the Server I was thinking of Installing Centos.
