linux - newbie questions

[will@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

I just installed mandrake 6.5 on my system at work and am having 
a few problems figuring a couple things out.  I am hoping you guys 
can help me, I have been looking in the SAMS red hat unleased 
book, to no avail and am currently looking on the net for answers, 
but am not sure where to start.

1st.	We want to eventually move to linux for our servers, but we 
need to test it for a while to make sure it will suit or needs, which I 
am sure it will.  I am having trouble setting up samba to use 
roaming profiles, where I can log onto any workstation and log onto 
the domain and have the drives mapped the same on all machines. 
 I have been told this is possible, but can't seem to figure out how 
to do it.

2nd.	I am not even sure where to start to get proxy working.  I 
have the ppp connection working but cannot seem to figure out 
proxy.  

3rd.  	How do you mount a volume on a netware 4.11 server.  I 
can't find any documentation on how to mount novell.  I think I can 
effectively mount everything else that exists now, just not novell for 
some reason.

any help would be much appreciated to get me more familiar with 
linux and get this system running so my boss can see it going.  
Thanks in advance for any advice.
