greetings list
id love to network several computers running puredata OSC , but i have no experince of networking other then what i have learned with puredata and the likes running on 1 machine ..
i presume i need some sort of hardware hub device to communicate to a batch of machines ? dose anyone here have experience networking several computers for use with puredata ?
if so could you perhaps point me in the direction of what hardware i might want to look at? or even a place i could learn more about the ins and outs of networking .
im asking on the list because i plan to purchase several linux desktops primarily for use with puredata and i dont want to have any nasty pit falls :D
thanks for any help regarding this its appreciated highly
peace

as we are living in times of the internet, the risk of "nasty pitfalls" is rather low. what you need is:
if so could you perhaps point me in the direction of what hardware i might want to look at?
x computers (with network cards: any "normal" network card should do; as linux is primarily used for networking issues, chances are very, very low to purchase an unsupported network-hardware (probably there might be problems if you tend to buy super-dooper all of the newest 10GBit-cards - but even some of these are supported) x network cables (normal cat5; NON-crossed-over) 1 hub/switch (or several if you have *many* computers) power-supply for everything
or even a place i could learn more about the ins and outs of networking .
have a look at /usr/share/doc/HOWTO/

Yes, you need a hub or a switch, take your choice.

There are various HOWTOs devoted to Networking. Look at www.tldp.org or on your hardisk for more. The "Linux Network Administrators Guide" is a very comprehensivew ressource, and here's an overview of howtos: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/networking.html
