It's also the most efficient of available hypervisors, using the Linux kernel directly to interact with hardware instead of piling multiple kernels on top of one another (like Xen/hyper-v) or running through an extra translation …

RHCE is more than just a paper, it's a practical exam you cannot pass by cramming braindumps (have you heard a 5 year old just passed MCSE? shows how valuable that one is...) RHCE opens up pretty much every Linux related position, because, while it's being oriented around Red Hat, …

the mac is supposed to authenticate to your modem at home. does the imaginary hacker have that modem too? that's in the case of dsl. with cable it's even easier - the modem is just a final peer on your line.

if 10Gb RAM is your concept of "monster", you haven't seen serious hardware. I've run Linux servers with 256 cores and 2Tb RAM with no issues.

very easy if you use exchange, but not too sure about the built in POP service. it is very basic. you can try to backup the mails using ntbackup, and restore them on the new server

sbs will do. so will xppro for 5 clients. actually the simplest and cheapest is a linux box with samba (it also has no user amount resrictions) or something like freeNAS

first, to be on the safe side, run the clear cmos routine (by shortcirquitting the Clear CMOS contacts on the MB). after that go into the bios setup (usually by clicking del/f2) and reset everything to default.

are there any firewalls/proxies on the way?

if it's a winsock problem, you should take the advice above. otherwise, simply make sure that all computers are in the same workgroup, all computers have the same users protected by the same passwords to speed things up, use static LAN IPs, and enter those into the hosts file.
