Anyone got any idea how I log in to the server from the host destop OS (Windows XP) ?? Or how I can connect via another desktop on my Workgroup based network. I have tried creating a new network connection but it only seems to offer the option of workgroup computers (not domain servers) in the network connection wizard ???

What you are looking for is a Remote Desktop Connection. It is Microsoft's version of VNC or an X session over SSH. It will allow you to connect to the server and control it as if you were in front of it.

As for books for Linux, I think I might have what you are looking for. Take a look at the Craig Hunt Linux Library. They are a bit old, but not out-of-date. The basics are still the same years later. The nice thing about that is that you can get some used copies dirt cheap. I suggest you start with the book that started the series Linux System Administration.

Carol Haynes:
Thanks tinjaw for the Linux references.

Actually what I was wondering was how to login to the server as a user. I figure I haven't got the thing set up properly yet as I need to set up the domain settings. I'll get there in the end.

I bought a copy of a book (about PC maintenance and upgrading desktops and laptops) which came with a very useful overview of Wired and Wireless SOHO networks. I didn't learn much that I didn't already know (which was reassuring) but it had an excellent history of PC netwroks which felt like a walk down memory lane ;)

I'm not sure what you mean because that describes several different things. All of them involve creating a user account on the domain, but then differ from there depending on what you are trying to do.
