Hi, i have moved from windows servers to linux and am struggling :(

Do i need just 1 nic or 2 nics?

also, i have noticed that the dns that come with linux is totally different to the dns that comes with windows so can anyone advise me on a website on how to set it up. Also, the same with apache, does anyone know a good website where i can learn to set it up.

I need to secure this thing, and have no idea what im doing, so can someone advise me on what software i need to secure it, and where i can get it from

Thanx for your help, Matt.

Security Basics:

Download a SSH Client (Secure Shell) and use that instead of Telnet, then switch off Telnet.
Good SSH Client is

Set SSH to write all its actions to a LOG file in APPEND mode, these will be useful later for discovering errors etc! Also if you ever need to repeat the steps.
