RabbieBurns Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Feel im passing the "newbie" stage and wanting to learn more. But can't think of what else to try. Got my servers running DNS, hosting domains, DHCP, Squid, dante-socks, etc etc. Working great. But I want to get my teeth into something else now. Any suggestions?
Domino Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 are you thinking personal ones or more school-based projects? How about a video/music server?
RabbieBurns Posted October 15, 2008 Author Posted October 15, 2008 At home. Ive already got a couple of the Netgear Eva8000 media players that stream the files off the Samaba shares on one of the boxes at home.

tmcd35 Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 If you haven't tried Linux From Scratch, and don't mind hours of compiling code, it's worth a gander. I currently working through the first book again. Last time I completed the first book and stopped. This time I want to get X compiled and installed at the very least. 1
RabbieBurns Posted October 15, 2008 Author Posted October 15, 2008 Ah yes. I have been meaning to get email working for ages now. Thanks. Also will look at trying to get one working as a domain controller with XP clients.

Not sure if i have the time / patience for something like that just yet though
CyberNerd Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Email! Tried it once but got it a bit of a mess when trying to integrate with ldap It's not really a challenge, with zimbra Zimbra offers Open Source email server software and shared calendar for Linux and the Mac
RabbieBurns Posted October 15, 2008 Author Posted October 15, 2008 Was gonna try postfix / dovecot with squirrelmail and clamav/spamassasin. Not heard of zimbra will check it out.
