Although our company uses ClearOS, I've been studying this since

2. nfs and samba server (for the few windows boxes, around
5). home folder mounted as a separate partition (need to
enforce quotas)<br>
<br>
3. around 25 desktops (home directory pathed to nfs/samba
server when they log in)<br>
<br>
4. backup server for the pdc and file server and sql server
(db is around 30gb compressed), must dump to a nas and a
tape (offsite backup, manual intervention of changing tapes
at 8am daily). backup and restore should be easy.<br>
<br>
5. backup of pdc, files server and backup server
(virtualize?) (auto failover if available)<br>

6. users can print to a central fax server (with two usb
modems?). incoming faxes are centralized, reviewed and
dispatched to users. (auditing for what users printed, how
many pages, what doc if available, softcopy of all records)<br>

<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://printserver:631">http://printserver:631</a> plus nagios(extension), <a
href="http://www.papercut.com/">http://www.papercut.com/</a> is a
great tool for this though. I think all of the above can be done
with a combination of Ubuntu server, samba (auth=LDAP(Fedora
Directory for failover instead of openldap)), hylafax, nagios,
rsynch.<br>
