This information can be strapped together with various Linux documentation
resources (check www.linux.org for starters), but also look for
"Linux Secrets" by Naba Barkakati, published by IDG Books, about 900 pages.
It's got a hokey cover with the book title and flames in the background, but9
it is a good book.  There's a chapter called "Setting up Linux as an Internet
Host" (about 30 pages), and alot of other useful info -- I usually reach for
this instead of Matt Welsh's "Running Linux".

BTW, it also came with a Slakware 3.0 CD (that I have used on occasion).
