However, I'm not sure what the advantages of such a distribution would be? Are you surely not better to do a standard installation of FreeBSD and then add the services you need (Apache, MySQL, Samba, Netatalk,...) from the ports collection as you need them? That way you can totally customise your server and you will get a better understanding of how everything works in the process....
I tried lately but I'm afraid of security :) Thousand of people are using distributions like SME and you're almost your firewall settings and rules are OK. By OK I mean that if someone get hacked he can report it to the developpers and the hole get fix.
On FreeBSD I'm afraid to do a bad firewall...
I would advice doing a test installation of FreeBSD (see www.freebsd.org/handbook) and having a go at installing the packages you need.
What do you think?
I already tried to make my own server but there were to many problem for not so much time! Thanks for your answer I have to think about making my own server myself but last time I ended with the PC under my desk with no cable plugged.. and I couldn't remember what was the last thing I did two months ago :P -- Pierrick Brossin IT Employee 15, Ch. du Château, 1422 Grandson, Switzerland Tel Prof: +41-327201423 Mobile Priv: +41-794137145 Mail Prof: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mail Priv: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
