After the huge success of my debian-based email server at my school,
we're now looking at migrating the main server function onto a Linux
box. It's taking a little while, as I'm working with the IT support guy
to get him up to speed with Linux - he's previously been a Windows chap,
but is very capable, and is ever more enthusiastic about the
possibilities which Linux offers, as he supports several schools in the
area.
I was amazed at how long the server had been in place at the school -
it's never failed in that time, although it's been powered down several
times (local main supply isn't brilliant), but there's been no negative
impact (thank goodness for journalling filesystems).
Obviously, we'll migrate the whole lot onto one box in due course, along
with dansguardian for filtering, and if we need more bandwidth, we'll
use the kernel to balance traffic between two adsl pipes.
