Now, while I know this is really an OS X Server board, I’m a firm believer of keeping up and using multiple server technologies to keep on or even ahead of the curve. After all, a “know thine enemy” mindset is no more appropriate than for us folks managing OS X servers to know exactly what the strengths and weaknesses are for the platform we prefer to use.
That out of the way, [url=http://www.trustix.net][b:8e5b1f049f]Trustix Secure Linux 2.0[/b:8e5b1f049f][/url] has just been recently released and contains all the latest revs of various server applications under its hood. If you are looking for a resource-light, feature-rich server Linux distribution, I can recommend this one as the folks there have done a nice job in putting things together.
Install, configure a user account with sudo rights, set, and forget as management of the server is 100% through SSH and/or the command console. It’s definitely not for Linux newbies, but for those of you who are feeling familiar on the command line, it’s a great way to offload some of the more mundane server tasks onto a cheap PC.
Enjoy!
