From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Of course you can.
However, my networking knowledge is not super fresh. I believe you need a special ethernet cable for this. A crossover ethernet cable. Then you have to manually set the IP address on both ends for that interface to something kind 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.0.2 Here's a quick how-to that shows an example.
Or... You don't have an individual router? Couldn't you just plug it in the router by ethernet cable?
I believe a crossover cable is no longer needed these days as most ethernet adapters implements Auto-MDIX .
Ah ok.
I was born in the 1900's so... You know, things have changed in the 21st century.
If both Ethernet NIC is over 1gbps, you are fine with using normal cable.
Thanks I'll try this!
