Setting up Apache isn't hard.  If you like, give me a shout at this e-mail
and we can go over it.  I don't know much beyond serving static pages
(www.zuelow.net & www.zuelow.com), but it's a start.  I think we'll have
some more Apache gurus start showing up that can get into things like
dynamic database driven pages, etc.

Samba.  We haven't had a Samba presentation yet.  Anyone game?  (I use it at
home, but I haven't played with the config files in so long I don't think I
remember how to set it up.)

Can you give us some more detail about the NIC - specifically the model
number?
And which modem - is it a Winmodem?
You can answer both questions by giving us the output of `lspci -v` - it
should look like this:

00:13.0 Ethernet controller: Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21142/43
(rev
 41)
        Subsystem: Standard Microsystems Corp [SMC]: Unknown device 2401
        Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 66, IRQ 9
        I/O ports at f880 [size=128]
        Memory at ffbeec00 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1K]
        Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] [size=256K]

You didn't miss much.  I can reschedule that one if there's enough interest,
and hopefully it will be more successful the next time.  I've been remiss
and haven't scheduled the next meeting yet.
