1. Introduction Once upon a time I cofounded a company which had as it's mission to make a linux distribution targetted specifically for small and medium businesses. These days I am not actively involved in the company anymore, but I still like to configure linux boxes, and I still do it as an aside job to more profitable consulting jobs in the macintosh world. The scope of this document is to describe the process of installing a knoppix distribution on a dedicated computer, and configure various services on it. During this description choices on software will be made as to what software to install and how to configure it. The goal is not to describe all possible configuration, but just to describe the configuration which I think is best suited to do the job. You may dislike the software I am choosing or you may not like the way it is set up, you may even try and convince me on why doing something in another way would be more benificial, but I will not change this document to try and describe all possible configurations of all possible software. You will have to write your own document on that.There are still many things to do and the list will never end. I am thinking of things I need, and things a Small or Medium Enterprise may need. Currently, I think the document describes most of the functionality commonly needed, and I think if you go through it all you may have a clue on expanding the functionality. It is not currently a business plan, but I might consider offering paid support for systems installed like this in the future. I do this already for a small set of chosen customers. |
