Story: Build your own Linux server
Posted by: Nigel (Monday 26 April 2004, 2:16 AM)
It's good that ZDNet is running articles on this type of topic, but it has to be said that the article isn't as great as some hardware reviews here - it's more of a damp and fluffy how-to, and to be honest the topic is covered much better elsewhere.
An interesting article might be a comparison of a Red Hat based server (ie command line and standard-ish linux graphical tools if you use them) with something that is designed solely for the purpose of being a server - like SME Server from www.contribs.org. I've just set one of these up, and it was simple, and leaves me with a great web based management utility, although customising from the command line is more complex.
How about it?
