| 572392 | 2007-07-25 13:26:00 | If you like something like ISA and would also like a file server.. I would suggest Fedora Core (what is it up to now 7?). Install Squid as a caching proxy or if you have windows servers you can even integrate it with active directory for group/user based filtering (just to make things interesting). I did the above as a project and I am a total windows user.. dived into linux head first.. picked up fedora stuck to some linux magazine.. it was FC5 i think.. kept me occupied for a few months.. as in order to get Squid integrated with active directory authentication i needed SAMBA and NTLM..you will need SAMBA as well if you plan on implementing a file server which will be accessed by windows clients. As for the distribution.. a lot of ppl have told me that ubuntu is the way to go.. but i guess i just couldn't wait around for the download.. so i went with fedora.. |

The last straw was an update that completely nuked my dovecot (imap server) configuration - after that I switched all my servers to Debian, and I've never had a problem since. |
