Thank you Filippo.
Additional questions if I may.
Nethesis is an established commercial venture. You could find more
information (in Italian) on our website, our blog or our pages in the
primary social networks.
We "sell" support in Italian language, by phone or email. We are
paying for development, money comes from support revenues.
We don't plan to charge for updates of packages. We plan to offer
subscriptions to services like remote backup, remote update,... (see
http://www.nethesis.it/en/monitoraggio-centralizzato-nethsecurity for
hints).
OK, so I move from SME to Nethesis. The ISO is basically CentOS minimal
+ nethserver-base + nethserver-httpd-admin (web UI). Any other
functionality requires modules, here is a tentative list of individual
module:
Users: nethserver-directory
DNS server and DHCP server: nethserver-dnsmasq and nethserver-hosts
HTTPD: nethserver-httpd (add also ibay httpd access)
Configuration can be done via template or /etc/httpd/conf.d
directory (preferred way)
Mail server: nethserver-mail-server (postifx + dovecot2)
Mail filtering: nethserver-mail-filter (amavis + spamassassin)
NTP server: netherver-ntp
Ibays: nethserver-ibays
SSH: ssh server is installed and accessibile by default,
nethserver-openssh add shell access for users
Samba: nethserver-samba
MySQL: nethserver-mysql (almost done)
Jabber: nethserver-ejabberd (almost done)
Printers: nethserver-cups (almost done)
Fax server: nethserver-hylafax (almost done)
Groupware: nethserver-sogo (work in progress). Porting Horde to
nethserver, should be a quick job.
Backup: working on. We plan to have two
Firewall module. Now we use CentOS standard but we plan to add a
more advanced firewall module like Shorewall.
a) Which of these are free and which of these need to be subscribe to?
b) These modules will be "bunched up" by category (Neth service, Neth
security etc), what will be the cost of annual subscription?
c) Any scope for a user to add customised modules, or for that matter
contributions as is the case with SME?
Thanks and regards
chris
