This sounds a bit like Skolelinux/Debian-Edu, a preconfigured client/server solution for schools. It includes, working out of the box - DHCP server and DNS server - samba - NFS - smtp and imap server with authentication - LDAP server used to store user info and configuration - web server So comparing it to your list, we are missing - Firewall with NAT - we defined the firewall-gateway to be outside the scope of skolelinux, to avoid the complexity of handling all kinds of network hardware. - Apple fire sharing (netatalk) - all macintosh-boxes support SMB these days. A waste to set up netatalk when they are better off talking to samba. - Connecting the DNS and DHCP server - not quite sure what you mean here? dynamic dns? - SMTP server with spam and virus checking - we plan to set up avscan, but no-one got to it yet. - VPN server - Intranet services such as Wiki and Issue tracking - there are talks about including moodle or some other system. nothing decided yet. - Shared calendaring and mail folders a la Exchange (if feasible) - schoolbell might be integrated to provide this. We do have some problems with upgrades, as the preconfiguration clashes with some packages. There is also a Skolelinux related group in Greece, lead by Konstantinos Margaritis, who is working on changing Skolelinux into an office linux, by removing the educational software and only keeping the office related software. It might be interesting to cooperate with them on this project. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
