Dedicated Server Distros (SME server and Censornet)
 

Hello

Has anybody had any experience with SME server and Censornet?

I am looking at changing my servers over to the above, one will be used as an actual server and the other will be used as the internet gateway. This is what they were developed for but would like to know how others feel about these solutions.

I am very keen on using Censornet because of its ease and it has the option of purchasing the Web site blacklists, it simply looks brilliant. My main concern is SME server, should I rather just set my server up using FC? It will need to do the basics and serve mail, firewall and also act as my file server. What do you guys think?

Thanks in advance!

You could give clarkconnect a try (clarkconnct.org)... It offers all those things and it has worked good for me. Its FC based as well if that what you want. Never tried SME but it looks good as well, I might give it a try the next time I set up a server.

Thanks for the info, I have taken a look at clarkconnect in the past and it is a good solution.
