Would I need oraclewin if I can embed Vserver in Wine or Zorin?

Don't you lot have any alarms to fit?

James where do I download the sme os thats on my server?

lol

Oracle win is just a front end. Id need to change it for the wine stuff. IF you get it stable etc.

Sme is at contribs.org

James what do you know about ubuntu samba and webmin?

ubuntu is a linux distribution

samba is the linux smb server to be used for file sharing in a windows environment

webmin is a web management too for the system. Good when your learning but of little use long term.

 

i used to use webmin years ago now im a command line man. Putty is a godsend

If you want stable server for use in a windows enviroment use sme. I highly rate it.

 

For something you want to customise use either ubuntu LTS or centos, depending on how bleeding edge you want to be. 

 

I only used to use centos for my dvrs but i do quite like ubuntu LTS. Id rather use sme but its very hard to make it do things other than its feature set. SME is the most stable thing ive ever used. Very hardened. I use it for all normal server duties. Yours has been ok hasnt it?

I thought I would start off with something a little less hard core though I do like putty now I finally got it working when I loaded ubuntu it didnt load sshserver even though I had ticked the box for it. So Icouldnt get putty to work. I had though about SME but I couldnt find what I was sure was it so I have gone down the ubuntu route. I have struggled with VNCserver and cant get it to work I think it may be a geometry problem. But I have webmin working and Samba and I can now see my server on my windows network. I just dont seem to be able to set up the permisions correctly so that I can get into the folders on the server

Adidas, they will run all sorts of things................

 

Waits, whilst someone else gets the joke.

 

 

(Knows Peter has seen it )

if you running a file server dont go down the ubuntu route. Go with sme then you can use affa to backup your work server over secure ssh
