Possiblity Reign on slack


I've been wondering for a minute if slack could run a server? I've been planning to set one up but i just haven't got around to setting it up. I took a look a bsd, and I thought that might be nice, but i also didn't want to have a "TRIPLE " Os boot either :[ So can anyone help me out on this issue?

Sure, it's no problem. Depending on which server you want to run, slack comes with apps. ProFTP for FTP server, Apache for HTTP server. I downloaded and installed Postfix for my mailserver, it was a breeze.

It depends on what you want, but yes, it's great for a server distro.

Cool
