Hello List! I would very much appreciate any advice concerning the set-up of a Debian based file server. I have some experience in Debian desktops and laptops, but none so far with servers. My list of questions is long, I know, but any answer would help. Thank you!
Best regards, Stefan (debian @ goessling . de) Questions: Which Debian version? Which packages should I use? Which security measures to take? Which backup procedure is recommended? Any experiences/success stories in this field? Are there pre-packaged distros (Debian based)? Here are the requirements/conditions: * Server must serve Windows clients (e.g. via samba) *and* Linux clients * Access also via secure channels (scp, sftp) from outside the local net * 10+ users (2-6 concurrent) with around 2 GB file space each * Server runs 24h in an unprotected network (i.e. our university does not have any firewall or port blocking) * System will probably have 2 HDs (80 GB) * Second (rather old) machine available for backup service -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
