Kaj 14-Jun-2007 [1520] | The SME Server at contribs.org is based on Red Hat and heavily customized to run almost all functions you mention with particularly easy user management. Don't know how current is is on Apache and MySQL. As long as you don't need /View it's OK, because it comes without X11 |
Pekr 15-Jun-2007 [1521x3] | I looked into CentOS, but I already downloaded Ubuntu server to give it a try. This time I will install including X-Windows, and also run webmin. My initial idea was to have a small distro, which could be recovered very quickly, but I think that I am fine with one day off .... |
anyway - it would be cool to have really small thingy, which is able to do webserving, proxy (eventually), sendmail .... well, as for webserving purposes, I can imagine very small distro, with just cheyenne and rebol :-) | |
I don't care about the firewall too much, because I don't want my server to do it at all - that is what is router and DMZ for. | |
DaveC 15-Jun-2007 [1524] | Another SME type distro is Clarkconnect (http://www.clarkconnect.com). It's RHEL based and has community and paid services. Nice web admin tool. |
Pekr 15-Jun-2007 [1525x5] | thanks, will investigate it ... |
looks interesting. And maybe it is a distro, I once linked to here .... | |
... back then, when RT was investigating distros too .... | |
or ... it was other way around ... it was RT who told us, what distro they choosed? | |
studied ClarkConnect - it seems like an exactl solution, when you want to provide ISP services, with all those antispam services included, unified configuration interface, backups, so you might have a good sleep .... | |
Robert 15-Jun-2007 [1530] | Why not Debian? IMO one of the best distros. Good packet management. It doesn't come to fancy but rock solid. |
Pekr 15-Jun-2007 [1531x5] | Because, for me - I need a server, and I want to have a good sleep! :-) |
I have old Fedora Core 1 server, my friend moved to Prague and my primary hd crashed. It was difficult situation for me. There was a cript, which at least packed all content to secondary hw ... | |
the recovery was not so easy, because he navigated mi vai phone (3 hours) and I first had to prepare partitions etc. So I look for some other "easy", but complete solution ... | |
I will try with Ubuntu initially (which is - Debian based) | |
but no more console - I want web based configuration, so that my brother can do it without me. | |
Robert 15-Jun-2007 [1536] | For server Debian is very good. |
Pekr 15-Jun-2007 [1537] | there are many good servers imo. It is not problem to actually have a server. But disaster recovery scenario is important for me. Because I have to be sure, that when I am no business trip and server crashes, my brother will be able to recover basic services with few phone calls :-) |
Kaj 15-Jun-2007 [1538] | Yes, generic servers make you do a lot of work for such things. SME Server and indeed ClarkConnect are custom-made for the things you want. SME Server has more integrated user management, but ClarkConnect is easier to put extra software on that is not part of the standard distribution |
Pekr 15-Jun-2007 [1539x2] | SME server - is that something particular? |
what does SME stand for? | |
Kaj 15-Jun-2007 [1541x2] | Running extra software will make backup and restoration more difficult, thouh |
Small and Medium Enterprise | |
Pekr 15-Jun-2007 [1543x3] | ah, thanks .... |
btw - how does Syllable go? (you can answer in the syllable group) | |
Graham - to not spam Syllable group - http://bengross.com/smallunix.html | |
Gabriele 15-Jun-2007 [1546] | petr, www.rebol.net is running on clarkconnect, and mail.rebol.net will probably be moved to it soon. |
Kaj 15-Jun-2007 [1547x2] | Ah, good choice :-) |
Better than the previous one, at least... | |
Maxim 15-Jun-2007 [1549x2] | does rebol run on DSL ? |
(Damn Small Linux) | |
Kaj 15-Jun-2007 [1551] | Don't know why it wouldn't |
Maxim 15-Jun-2007 [1552x2] | hummm that might be interesting linux test setup... as it runs hosted and takes very little ram :-) |
actually, some of my rebol apps might take more ram the the os :-D | |
Pekr 15-Jun-2007 [1554x2] | :-) |
hopefull R3 might improve this :-) | |
Maxim 15-Jun-2007 [1556] | well, we will have the flexibility to do so being able to link INTO rebol. but obviously not for the beginners. |
Graham 17-Jun-2007 [1557x5] | Any Samba users here? |
I used YaST on Suse to setup Samba and accepted all the defaults. I see groups, profiles, and users .. but when I try to login, I can't authenticate. | |
It's not setup as a PDC. Just using windows groups I think. | |
Do I need to add my machine name to the users ? | |
Oh well, I turned it into a PDC and that seems to work now. | |
Geomol 18-Jun-2007 [1562] | I use swat to setup Samba under FreeBSD. It runs on port 901 with the browser. |
Gabriele 18-Jun-2007 [1563x2] | not sure on suse with yast, but i have been annoyed (very annoyed!) by the fact that on ubuntu, after setting things up with their ui, you still have to use smbpasswd to set a password to access the shared folder. |
so... you may have to use smbpasswd to set a password. | |
Graham 18-Jun-2007 [1565x3] | I think I just needed to add my laptop as a user machine .... but it didn't like it when I tried. Invalid name etc. |
Now I am authenticating against the server instead ie . \servername\userid instead of \laptop\userid | |
When you install suse from cds .. and you need to install other packages, it may ask you for the installation cds. is there a way around this? mount the cds as iso images? | |
Kaj 18-Jun-2007 [1568x2] | You can use a file tree on disk or through FTP. Not sure how to copy the mulyiple CDs into one tree |
My SaMBa is a bit rusty, but when you set up user names on the server, you need a PDC, so that was probably the main problem | |
