KaiNeR Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 have a look at contribs.org at SMS server, its a complete server package & only takes a few mins to install and configure. It icludes out of the box, firewall, web & mail server, with working spam and virus scanning. samba is also working and easily configured as a domain controller.

Macpaq Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 What kind of server do you want ? If u are talking about a web server, ou can download the free Apache. I don't know what OS you have on your old PC. But Apache works on Mac, Linux and Windows. You can also download xAMP as a package. save you a lot of trouble on configuration. In case you don't know, x means whatever OS you use, A means Apache, M means MySql and P means PHP. For an old machine I would say use Linux. If you need help with server please let me know as I have quit some experience with server. All my machines are servers, including my laptop. Oh, I too am interested in the AMD post installation patch for the ToH 10.5, can you help me with that? I search the p-bay came up with no result.

skyhighmac Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Linux. Ubuntu server is easily configured and you can install a gui, depends on the hardware. And why do you have 4 iPods?

brentter Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 linux.. although i wouldn't go with ubuntu... opensuse all the way if you want a free distro.. redhat is now commercial but their free version - fedora isn't to shabby either..
