Anyone using linux and open-source software to run a small business set-up ?
We currently have 7 users connecting to a Microsoft small business server. This gives us what we need for: + sharing files (word processed documents, pdfs, etc) + getting emails from outside + sending emails to outside + saving the emails and backing them up + sending internal emails + connecting to the internet for web surfing There's probably a few other things it does as well. We run a mix of windows PCs and Macs - and probably always will do for our workstations. It often goes wrong and simple tasks like adding a new user seem to be difficult (or easy to do incorrectly). There is also a price tag for all this stuff - although the cost of learning about stuff and time spent fiddling with stuff usually dwarfs any external paid costs. What would a linux / open source set-up look like and is anybody actually using such a set-up ? Regards, John Hyde
