I recently took a job at an employeer that has NO domain structure, just |
| 2 |
a bunch of 2000 and XP boxes in a workgroup. |
| 3 |
Email is hosted outside (about 125 accounts), as is the website. |
| 4 |
The email is thrown in as part of the website package, but they are |
| 5 |
going to change providers again, and are going to have to migrate these |
| 6 |
accounts to the new provider. |
| 7 |
I'm exploring what it would take to move email inside. |
| 8 |
I'm curious what hardware you build on. Do you buy Dell, HP, build your |
| 9 |
own, or do something else? |
| 10 |
What level of hardware would you use for an email only server with this |
| 11 |
number of accounts? |
| 12 |
What if you added print and file services? |
| 13 |
What do you use for backup? |
| 14 |
I've not built a Linux server for a business, just at home for a couple |
| 15 |
of "hobby" domains (Currently CentOS 4.3 with a QmailRocks install). |
| 16 |
Gentoo has only been on my desktop.... |
| 17 |
I have built LOTS of MS servers (enough that I can recite the license |
| 18 |
keys...), but don't feel much like giving them the $$$ for this. (or |
| 19 |
anything else, really, in the future) |
| 20 |
Thanks in advance for any input. |
