Hi all, I'm going to be moving soon, and I thought it would be a good opportunity to redesign my home network. I know it's a big topic, but let's play anyway. Requirements: - Local private network - Authenticated users (Windows and Linux) have their own home folders - Roaming profiles would be nice - Common shared folders - Shared printer - Wired and wireless access - Guest account can print, web surf, access public folders - Internet presence - Public HTTP server (probably Windows and Linux machines) - Remote SSH (not at first) I guess my questions are.... - What equipment will I need? I'm guessing two routers is the key to this. A WAP with WPA will be purchased (I'm currently using WEP128). - Can Samba provide roaming profiles, or am I limited to a MS solution? Do I need true roaming profiles if having "My Documents" on the network is good enough? (although a desktop and start menu that are customized would be really nice too) - Is it possible to have machines usable by authenticated users and guests and keep guests out of the private network shares, or should I make guest users use their own or dedicated machines?
