I'll second the nomination of e-smith, it's an excellent setup. We're
currently testing it out at work to see if it will replace our current
Linux box (as it is, it's being used as the intranet server on our
inside network). The primary benefit for us is that administration of
the system is web-based, allowing my Windows-only cohort to join in the
fun!
