All, I'm looking at an all in one server distro for a small business,
that is 90% 'web' managed. Mainly for file storage, but also wanting
things like acting as a mail proxy, ntp etc (all with a nicely
integrated web based managment tool set)
I have researched SME-Server (centOS based), and looked briefly at
e-Box. SME looks more mature (as per distrowatch) and seems to be more
widely used. Also has a reasonable community and plug-in architecture.
SME has this 'ibay' concept thingy that looks weird, but could be useful
for the client to manage files, post them to the web etc.
e-box not as mature (not yet on distrowatch), but is Debian based,
moving fast and looks like a lot of nice features.
I've also seen clark-connect, but they seem to be flouting the
opensource concept a bit, as 'higher featured' versions seem to cost
(before downloading).
Any recommendations either way on the above, or for other distros (of a
similar type) would be a help.
thanks
Howard
