Small Business distribution

[Darryl Moore]

Hi all,

Last week I posted draft network spec which I suppose was too detailed
in many ways and not detailed enough in others as I didn't get any replies.

Attached is a point form list for a basic small business network I'd
like to provide. The basic setup includes a minimum of 2 servers (for
service redundancy) and any number of workstations

I'd like to work with anyone on completing this. If we can come up with
a basic standardized set up then it would be helpful for all of us as we
could say that it is supported by other vendors too.

Here is what I'd like to do, and perhaps I should set up a wiki to do
it, if anyone else wants to help.

1) decide if this assortment of applications and servers are the most
ideal for most small businesses, make any changes to the list now.
2) develop scripts to install all these application on a clean Ubuntu
installation.
3) develop scripts to customize them after deployment.
4) decide what additional scripts are needed for puppet and nagios and
write them
5) decide what additional utilities businesses might need to do basic
administration. An easy way to add/remove LDAP user & groups and manage
group directories comes to mind.

I'm not a Linux Professional (YET) but I seriously think there is some
potential here, and am working hard to both get my Linux certifications
and build this system. A week ago it sounded like there was a lot of
interest in this. I am hoping there still is.

cheers,
Darryl Moore
