Welcome to NethServer Community

Hi Alessio,

I’m Andrea from Zero100, Italy. I was at Nethesis Partner Meeting last friday, and besides several compelling topics, and a couple of very unusual high-heeled developers, I got very interested in NethMonitor with its integration between Nagios and OCS. I work mainly on Microsoft, SLES and VMware these days, but I come back to Nagios (usually with check_mk on top) from time to time. I’m after ease of configuration and a pretty interface (and push notification to a mobile app): I see Nagios, Adagios and OCS + New theme are listed as part of the Community Edition:

http://www.nethserver.org/community-or-enterprise/

so I look forward to try them in a couple of weeks.

Thanks for your welcome,

andrea

Hi, I’m Vincenzo Turri from Vicenza, Italy.

I work since 1996 as a IT technician in Geacon and (you can see) … I do not speak English :slight_smile:
We are partners Nethesis since 2011. We use NethServer for mail, telephony, messaging, cloud, web and firewall (with two xDSL).
We replaced all customers installations of Exchange with great satisfaction (also thanks to excellent Nethesis supportl)

With the new version, the product has been improved. The console management and active sync… wonderful
Very good job

Hi,

I am Stefan from Melbourne, Australia.

I would like to setup my first server at home. I tried the Zentyal
server first but couldn’t succeed. A comment to the reduced options in
ver. 4.1 brought me to Nethserver.
The documentation is much better and I am reading through but still I am
not sure what I have to do in the right order. But I will figure out :wink:

We are very keen to hear about your experience with NethServer :blush:

Obligatory reply… LOL

I’m in the US, Deep South Texas (nearly Mexico).
Been in IT half of my life (reformed auto mechanic). Recently replaced a SME server with NethServer and like it very much!

More fluff about me:
I’ve been running a web/mail server here in my home since 1994. First server was a Mac II cx, running Quid Pro Quo and EIMS, and was on a dial-up line.
Also, BOTH of my children are gracing me with grandchildren this year! First is due any day, and the second in December.

Hi Jeff thanks for accepting my invite, you’re around for a while but I’m happy to see your introduction :wink:
Please feel yourself at home

I am a French Canadian living in Montreal. I started using Linux in 2010 I was looking for alternative to those traditional phone services. My research lead me to Asterisk, FreePBX and Elastix. I then set up my first Elastix box and since then I became an unconditional of Linux world and I also started playing with servers (LAMP, email, DNS, VPN) using Centos.

Nowadays I have Linux systems for entertainment (Kodi), for my phone (Elastix), for my laptop (Linuxmint) for my desktop (Ubuntu) and for my home infrastructure (Zentyal). The former (Zentyal) used to be a good all in one in which I had VPN, LAMP, basic firewall, owncloud, file sharing, etc. However since Zentyal team decided to become a clone of M$crosoft, I started looking for alternative, and it looks like I was not alone in that situation.

I discovered Nethserver in Zentyal forum when a member also disappointed with the new direction from the Zentyal team, suggested NS as a good alternative. I then decided to give NS a shot and I am really more than happy with the results so far KUDOS to the developers for this fabulous product.

I work as a mechanical engineer in an aerospace company and Linux is just a kind of hobby for me. I am still in a learning curve and am thinking at some point starting my own business in VoIP & infrastructure services. Unfortunately, my Linux skill is not so good at this point to significantly contribute in the project, but for sure I will be following this project.

My expectation: well, I hope the project will stick with the all in one orientation and will not change to a clone of M$crosoft at some point :blush:

Hello everyone!

I’m Argentinian, from the south, Patagonia.

I’m a part of a small IT business, which try to bring Linux servers to our customers. We are working since 2009, initially, looking for an UTM appliance, and with time, replacing many windows servers with Linux, for multiple purposes. The most common requirement is still UTM, and office (mail, shared folders, user auth, etc.).

Used to work with Zentyal, Untangle, worked with ClearOS, Endian UTM, and others distros
too.

As many others, I discovered Nethserver in my searching for Zentyal replacement. Now
I’m installing Nethserver. I guess that I’ll love it. It’s very promising.

Greetings!
