RE: [OT] Cheap Business Server for small office.

["Ian Lowe" <ianlowe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If money is the driver, get yourself an old desktop, stick an extra
hard
drive in it (a couple of 20/40Gb disks would do the trick) and get yourself
a copy of the e-smith server from contribs.org

The install is skoosh easy - you burn the iso image to a cd, boot from it -
it'll detect that ou have two disks and set them up as a mirror set (so you
have some protection if one fails)

It does the lot - simple mail server, internet gateway, remote access from
home, file and print server, and it's free.

It isn't SBS, but it doesn't have SBS's price tag either.

One of my former customers supported a small office (4 people) for 3 years
on an old Pentium 100, 128Mb of ram and a pair of 20Gb hard drives - not a
single crash.

Hey guys,

Does any one knopw where i can get hold of a cheap server for storing files
and what not on at work? It will just be plugged into my switch so then I
can access work files from home? It can be desktop or rack mount.

TIA
