If you have read my COD2 Game Server thread you know I am more into servers. However I have been experimenting with DSL here lately and I have asked it to do some tasks it was never ment to do. It has performed very well, even better then the mainstream distro's we tested. I believe the 2.4 kernal is more stable for what I do. Normally we roll our own kernals, but DSL has worked without modifications. And again I ask more of it, I would like it to be an idiot proof email gateway. Meaning it runs from ram and can be powered off at any time Why you ask, because, I work with people that are to smart for there own good and I have to use Linux servers to protect them from the evils of MS web & email systems. Task: Install PostFix imapd Iptables Spamassassin Razor ClamAV Procmail Big list, I know it goes against the grain (Closer to 150 megs) but it is what I will be doing for the next while, I ran accross an old post that someone had made a web server version. Wondered if it was still around? I hope to have this going soon. Posted by Guest on Feb. 04 2006,20:09
You should be able to easily build your own web server.On the Live CD is Monkey web server (located in /opt); which should ONLY be ran from the live CD due to monkey security issues). Or you can get XAMMP for an Apache server from < http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xammp.html > There's no documentation support for monkey, but there's lots of support for Apache and XAMMP ![]() Good luck, cause it sounds like the folks you're dealing with need all the help they can get!

XAMPP would be the absolute best method for making a webserver, It is light, fasts, contains EVERYTHING for a solid webserver..and with just a tiny tiny bit of tweakage set it for good security...I have another solution for you...how about < Zoho Virtual Office >
Just install the system as frugal....get the reiserfs tools using apt...format a partition for persistant (/home /opt) directories..then install this completely stand alone package deal..now your peeps have full bore webmail from any computer in the office..just log into the virtual office webpage and booyah!!!111oneoneone Brian AwPhuch |
