Hi Guys, I've just started setting up a home server on a nive little ITX box, based upon Ubuntu-server Intrepid Ibex.
But .. the setup might make sense for a server farm, but for a small three/four machine network it seems disproportionately complex. Can anyone give a pointer to a straight-forward basic setup for NFS+Samba serving, and UPnP? I'm guessing that mail shouldn't bee too bad as I already use postfix. Ubuntu's setup uses LDAP, which has so far taken we two evenings of messing about, to achieve I'm not sure what. They seem to think I need it for Samba. I'm not convinced, and it seems grotesquely complex and arcane to manage the way they advise. Thanks, Gordon. -- Gordon Scott http://www.gscott.co.uk Haiku: Tragic Irony Imagined Life Without Walls Windows Crash to Floor. Linux ...
