WebServer Distro


I would love to see a webserver distro that pretty much runs the same as a Cobolt Raq. Webserver, Email, MySQL and DNS all in one box. Web Admin interface for easy remote administration. Updates at the click of a button. Think anything like this will every surface?

Like Trustix? Almost. ;-)

http://www.trustix.org

Install Webmin and run
swup --upgrade as a cronjob.

There is also SME Server, http://www.contribs.org except for the update button.

I meant something that ran out of the box rather than poking about installing each component. Rather than webmin a proper control panel.

Take a look at SME Server. You are up and running with Apache, mySQL, FTP, Samba, mail, DNS, WINS and so on in 30 min. Where is also a nice Webb adminpanel.

The update button is not there yet but maybe Lycoris will put it there.

I am using SME Server 6.0 and it is soooo easy to install and set up. And as Bernt said up and running in about 30 mins.
Good documentation too.
