How about SME - Lindsay Hunter  (klhunter at paradise.net.nz) will be able to
tell you about it and his success with it.. It is a small server product
without the X interface but a (local and remote) menu interface. Lighweight
and effective.

Subject: [wellylug] WANTED: Distro recommendation


I want to find a _simple_ distro to do the following tasks:

Printer sharing (1 x USB printer and 1 x Parallel printer) (has to be 
able to be printed to from Windows and Linux either Samba or IPP)

DNS Server (has to have the ability to apply a fixed IP to a certain MAC 
address)

Mail Server - must use maildir

Now I know that I could do this with damn near any distro out there, but 
surely there has to be something that already exists to do this and has 
nice admin tools etc. built in?

Id by some chance there isn't already something like this, perhaps there 
is an opening is the distro market for sucha  thing?

Any suggestions much appreciated.

Cheers

Jamie
