I currenty manage (2) Win2K servers. I want to replace them with CentOS 4 (RHEL clone) If someone could give me a little direction as to the names of the packages to replace my existing ones with open source ones, I'd really appreciate it.
Win2K Svr --> CentOS4
Exchange Svr --> OpenLDAP???
Active Directory --> ?????
Distributed FS --> ?????
I use active directory to manage site-wide logins, DHCP, and DNS
Exhcange server hosts company contacts and local mailboxes. Due to our lack of a high-speed internet connection, users dial up to the net and download their email to the Exch server. A few employees need access to each others' mailboxes. We don't use any of the meeting scheduling capabilities of outlook, just email and contact managemnt. Though, I'd like to entertain the possibility later.
I use distributed file system to automatically replicate the shared file systems to a backup DC.
Security is not a high priority (internally) as I'm the only one that knows how to do anything other than clicking the start menu.
Unfortunately, I'll still need to use windows clienets. The final configuration will be a complete replacement of the Windoze boxes. Any info as to where to begin will be a great help!
TIA!
