familiar with this OS for a server?
I am wondering if it has something like AD group policies similar to
M$ Server 2000/2003/2008. If so, I can learn to use it. Otherwise I
can put 2003R2 on it.
Its intended use will be data s
SAMBA should do most of that, iirc it did AD stuff.
Sorry I can't be much more help, I just tolerate windows now, much prefer
the penguin.

Fedora is a distribution of Linux. Formerly RedHat.

Not to be a snob, but I wouldn't use Fedora; use CentOS or Debian for a
production server. Fedora is a test distribution, so while it's as stable
as, say, VistaSP1, it's not quite a real server IMO.
That said, since the user is used to Windows and is otherwise going to be
running Windows, I'd use
Seems like the consensus is wipe and install 2003R2.
Two more questions:
1. would it be worth considering an install of linux and then run
server 2003R2 as a VM? Or is that just wasting resources? Dell 2650

2. Has anyone heard of insurance costing more if the business
You are absolutely further ahead if you start with a virtualized platform. Use
ESXi (free) as the operating system and load 2003 on it in a VM. It's much more
stable than running windows or Linux as the host. The overhead is minimal. In
fact it de-duplucates memory blocks so if you have 2 VMs ru

Is the setup of ESXi strictly command line? if so, is there a sample
somewhere of the commands to set it up and install a vm, then start
that vm?
There is only one *nix command I remember because it is so unlike the
commands of other os's for the same thing: delete a file is rm
(filename).
A friend of mine said he has seen instances of insurance companies
charging more if the business uses linux, open office/libre office
and so forth. I am wondering if anyone who uses open source in
business has heard of any of this. It could be localized, or it
could be regional or national.
Should cost less. Years ago I worked for a CAD company in Boston. When
customers came to us saying their computers were stolen or burned or whatever
we had to remind them to include the software cost as part of their insurance
claim. The program was licensed to a particular processor and they cu

No, there is a remote GUI front end. ESXi is interesting because
there's
My question would be, "How do they know?"
Not to mention that it might be a business process that requires a Linux OS, so
what bearing would that have as far as exposure is concerned?
Hmm. I would certainly challenge an insurance agent who was questioning my use
of software platforms.

I don't know why open source would be more expensive. Makes no sense
to me. Open source is more stable, more secure, the last I checked,
and much cheaper, therefore not potentially as big of a claim on ins.
It is some potential liability they are afraid of.
Somehow, some "genius" in some ins
Yabbut others suggested debian or centos I was just trying to make it generic.

I'd think it would be in the IT press, Gartner reports, etc. if there was
an insurance issue with open source, and I've never seen, read, nor heard
about any such thing. Sounds like hogwash to me . . .

There are a few GPO options for *nix, some better than others:

The consensus is to install the winders server or install it as a VM

If it can wait a day, I just use one of the many rainbow table services
(loginrecovery free edition, etc) and get the original pass.
Or I boot the NTHack floppy/cd and do some registry manipulation! :D
