Hi All! I have managed to promote Debian in a small but expanding firm (currently a dozen systems). They have old Novell Net and Samba at the moment, but they like Linux and want to change somehow. They allow me to give them a wishlist for a Debian System, and they'll buy it, and now I really need some help here.
TASKS: File Server, Print Server, Internet Connection per ISDN (so this would work as a Gateway & Firewall) (light load), File Backup, and probably to be used at Workstation, too (login, probably with X for Windows) If you could take a quick look at the following lists and comment on it, I would be very grateful. Pentium >= 166, probably not so important RAM >= 64, probably more (96?, 128?) SCSI discs, 2 or more each 2-4 GB. Is buslogic available in Germany? Other good brands? Mainboard ASUS Normal architecture or PS/2 (is PS/2 well supported?) What is a good Graphic card (they'll need a good one) is Matrox Millenium well supported? Other brands? What is a good backup device? What is a good network card (they will switch to a faster network soon, at the moment they use NE2000 compatible cards, but I recall something with 100Mbps or so). There was a ISDN producer who support Linux, can someone recall the name? (If not, ISDN Teles 16.3 will certainly work) Other things (as CD-ROM, Monitor, etc) I do not expect problems with. Should I? Thank you very much for your input! Marcus -- "Rhubarb is no Egyptian god."
