[ubuntu-us-mi] Ubuntu Server Intranet

[Aaron VanSledright]

It would be a local INTRAnet server. Nobody outside the building would have
access. It would not be outsourced. I am head of IT and it would be my job
to oversee if not do it myself. It isnt my first server setup. however my
first intranet server. im just looking to see what kind of services i could
run on it.

Yes, we could survive without it. It wouldnt have any major operation other
than hosting some shared files, the spam filter could be disabled for 24
hours with the mail redirected. and so could the web content filtering.

Ive used webmin before on many servers i find it to be an excellent piece of
software. Right now im looking for someone who has an intranet server to see
what they run on theirs to get ideas.
