Ebox provides all of the components that a small business needs In order to be successful. What it does lack is documentation in order to successfully implement it, and some work on the LDAP. In my opinion Ebox offers alot more than other distro's that are customed tailored to the small business enviroment such as Clark's Connect and SME, I have used both. As I stated before Documentation, Documentation, Documentation. This will allow the average person to be able to successfully implement it in there enviroment. Some of the other things I have noticed with ebox is the printer module needs some help. Example I have a brothers printer that has debian based drivers, The install of the drivers is straight forward via the brothers website, but the new driver never populates in ebox allowing me to use it to configure the printer. One of the other downside I have noticed is there is no easy way of viewing client leases with the dhcp server modules. DNS is extremely straigh forward an in the intranet envoriment doesn't require you to use the FQDN, but just the hostname which is a nice feature that is realtive to a windows enviroment.
