[wellylug] saturn cable connection with linux

[Steve Withers]

It's easy.

You plug your ethernet card into the cable modem using the ethernet 
cable they provide.

Saturn give you an IP address, a netmask, a gateway address and two dns 
servers. 

You configure your eth0 with these values.......and you're online.

It's easy. Easier than Windows in many ways because you can change many 
things in your network config in Linux without having to re-boot.

If you want to set up a Linux box as a network gateway for several PCs, 
then that does require a bit of thought and reading. Not hard to 
do.....but anything is "hard" if you don't know how to do it yet. :-)

I run Linux as a dedicated gateway and firewall....and 7 other systems 
(3 linux, 4 Windows) access the net through the one system.
