I know there are a number of Redhat/Centos/and even Fedora specialized
distributions out there that are packaged for server use. Can any one
recommend any that they've used? We have an aging mail server, Debian
based, that is failing and need to replace quickly. GUI based would be a
plus. I am only going to be able to marginally contribute to getting
this going, but will probably be involved in maintenance. We just need
to do mail with this machine. I've looked at SME and BlueOnyx so far,
but, both seem to be command line based. I understand the security
advantages of not running X but, we'd rather live with that downside and
have a GUI for various reasons. Your experiences appreciated...
I would run CentOS-5.3, use sendmail, dovecot, spamassasin (as desired). Install
the firewall to allow only access via mail protocols. Allow ssh if you must.
If you want web admin, don't run X on the server, ssh in with the -X option, and
just run the X application on the server displaying to X on the client.
You don't say how large your load might be, but a decent x86 server should
handle thousands of users easily with proper disk.
