The left LED of the Alix board was blinking. I should do some configuration now, but don't know where or how to start.

So your help would be really appreciated
OK, this all depends on your router. Is there a section where DHCP leases are listed? That is, most routers will assign an IP to a new atatched device from a specific pool of numbers, e.g., 192.168.1.10, then 192.168.1.11, etc.

Once you know this number you can do your *first* login as root to the Alix via ssh xxx.xxx.x.x After the first login you can then setup a normal user account and its password user via the adduser command.
