[K12OSN] newbie

[Will Hatch]

Hello All,

I am a teacher at a small school who is attempting to break from the cycle of not being able to upgrade operating systems and hardware for budget reasons, by installing the k12 terminal server.  I only initially intend to have 7 thin clients to start.  I took our best pc and upgraded the RAM to 1 gig, installed a second network card, and a new hard drive with plenty of room on it.  I bought the k12 cd package and installed it to my new server.  While installing, I tried to follow the default setup as much as possible.  Now, I've managed to activate 1 of the nic cards (eth1), which is directly connected to my cable modem.  The way I understand it, out of the other nic card, I am to have a cable that connects to my hub.  I can't seem to get this activated.  

Truthfully, I am going to need some help getting this thing up and running.  Over the years, I have become better than average with Windows, but am very new to Linux.  Eventually, I would like to implement content filtering to the internet access and set it up so my students only have access to certain applications.  Can anybody take the time to walk me through this?  Thanks!  -Will
