My mail server crashed last night.....

So today I grabbed one my moribund dusty PCs and built a new one.

Instead of basic Debian Linux (as last time), I downloaded and installed
"Clark Connect Home v3.2."

It's a Linux distro designed to be a variety of servers - and Internet
gateway as well. You can use it as firewall and servers or just for the
servers.

I have just installed it for the first time tonight.

The install went flawlessly. It detected everything - though the system is
little more than video/HD/CD/eth0.

...and I now have:

- my mail (smtp/pop3/IMAP)
- Apache web server
- webmail access
- antispam detection
- web proxy
- web content filter

......all up and running.

Total install and config time has been about one hour.

The actual install to first boot took less than 5 minutes.

That was much appreciated.

It's free as in beer, too, for home users. **

I'm impressed.

Sounds great but so similar to www.contribs.org
I guess content filtering is an added feature.
Have you tried Contribs/sme? Differences etc?

Oh so THIS is the "smee server" a friend of mine was mentioning a wnile
back.

I'd heard of it, but haven't seen or used it.
