So far I have two options:
Pull off the config files from my Amahi server: Bind, DHCP, Samba, and probably MySQL. I had customized things enough (and few of my 'bug' fixes made it back into the base) that I know what to pull out to make a viable server.
Go with SME Server 8.0 which was released back in May and is based on Centos 5.8.
So my question to all of you is, what other options are out there? A Win7 future kind of makes SME more attractive than rolling my own. I would NOT be using SME for my mail server. That will be in a separate post.
Look at ClearOS. I haven't used it beyond installing in a test VM, but it looks like it would be a suitable SME replacement with a more up to date code base.
What distro is it based on? A quick browse through the website did not yield this info. I am going to have to get on their forums to see if they can provide my Win server needs, which are not so much...
As for mail, I will have to look at it. I looked at Zarafa a couple years ago, and can't remember why I rejected it.
And it should be usable as an email server toowhether on the same host or not. Or if you understand the configs well enough, just roll your own from a CentOS 6.x.
