Linux-Based SMB server

Posted on January 11th, 2006 in Work by pete

Roberto is looking to produce his own personal linux distribution that contains enough features that would make it appealing to a small to medium business.  I’ve been thinking about the same thing myself, and came up wth a similar feature set.  He doesn’t like SE Linux, and who can blame him, but now that Novell have open sourced AppArmor that might make building a secure server a little easier.

I was also thinking of using Nagios or something like that for remote monitoring of sites, something that could enable a nice recurring revenue by charging support on a monthly basis.  £25 per month x 50 customers  is a healthy income and a good incentive to keep development going

Interesting times :)
