[ubuntu-za] Access to internet via Proxy and AD login

[Greg Eames]

Hi Charl

The proxy server is similar to a gateway, it will control what you can and
cannot axess on the internet. The proxy server can be set in your browser.

As far as having a AD account on linux, I have not a clue.

Kind regards
