first of all thanks for the fast reply!!
1. Get a new PC, install - letīs say - Fedora Core, install Apache, Perl, PHP and Koha. Connect this system to the Windows NT server and be able to provide access to Koha to all 50 workstations of the office. There is no need to provide public access (yet), so I think the system has not be the latest server hardware, but a normal workstation would do.
But: is it possible to connect the Linux PC to the Windows NT server and enable it to be accesible for ALL Windows workstations of the office?!?
You do not have to 'connect' the Linux server to the NT server. You would assign the Linux Koha server an IP address and make an entry into the internal DNS so that when people browse to
http://library.your.company.name/ they get to the OPAC interface.
Okay, but I still will have to integrate the system into the NT network, or am I misuinderstanding something?
I think this should work via Samba, or are there any other possibilities? I expect that I wonīt be able to connect the Linux server by other means, or are there?
I appreciate very much every thought on this topic; if anyone has a good weblink for a NT/Linux-network introduction I would be grateful as well.
The Linux Documentation Project has several HOWTOs on networking for Linux, here is one:
Thanks for this great link.
Looks very user-friendly, so I will do my homework!
Cheers
