as promised, my presentation slides and a detailed step by step document can be found here.
My presentation was called, "Building a small business server with minimal effort and cost", but maybe it should have been called
"How I built my own server appliance"
The presentation slides outline really more what I wanted to achieve, and the larger issues I encountered.
The detailed document may be useful for someone, who wants to have step by step notes about setting up one of the following tools:
yum - package manager -- if you are running Red Hat 9 (and I believe 8 and 7), yum is a very convenient command line tool for keeping your system up-to-date; you just need to point yum at different repositories in the /etc/yum.conf file;
sendmail - if you want to allow SMTP authentication and/or encrypted SMTP traffic
vsftpd - one of the more secure FTP servers around
webmin - browser based administration of your server, for those of you who are browser bigots like me :) -- as I found out yesterday, several of you really hate doing important work via the browser :)
phpMyAdmin - browser based administration for your MySql server - ditto - browser bigots only :)
Both documents are available in html, pdf, or OpenOffice formats.
Their unavailability in .doc and .ppt is not a technical issue, but a political statement :)
If anything should be of use to you, feel free to copy, modify, ...
If you find any errors, I'd be grateful for the feedback, so I can correct the document(s)
