Linux on Small Office Server

by rmerriam . Updated 20 years, 1 month ago

I would like to do away with my NT4 server at my business and go to linux. I am very new to linux but installed Suse 10 on my home computer with good results. Our small office (six computers) uses the NT4 server for authentication and as a file server. We do not need a web server or db server. I would possibly like to have a mail server also. The desktops will stay Win2000. I’m not afraid of the command line but would have to learn the linux commands.

Since I already have Suse 10, would it work as a server if I added Samba or is it more just for the desktop? I’m looking for an easy-to-use small business distro. I know that some distros are better suited for servers than desktops. I would appreciate any suggestions. Certainly there are many others out there with my same setup.
