In reading Dax's email (and personally knowing Dax to be a "real
expert"), I had the same thought.  I'd love to learn how to set this all
up in a day.  Even two or three days would be worth it.  

Anybody willing to contribute a "Quick and Dirty Guide to Network
Nirvana in Three Days or Less"?  Maybe just pointers to existing
documentation?  Places to start?  Things to watch out for?  Known
gotchas?
