Hope I picked the right category to post this. I am looking at replacing a few MS servers and was wondering if Nethserver can work as a replacement for them. I have watched all the how to videos. i have Nethserver up and running on a test system. I am just not very fluent in Linux so looking for a l…

@Hermann_Knabl Grüss dich Hermann! Zabbix is used by quite a few BIG sized companies, like the German Telekom (For their Business Clients!), the large Swiss Basler Insurance, and quite a few really BIG Institutions and Companies - even quite a few well known in the Industry, like Dell… See their …

Thanks everybody. I have been doing a lot of reading the past few days thanks to every ones advice. What is everybody view on refurbished servers?

@Todd_Sales I also occasionally use refurbished servers, usually from eBay. Server defination: HP Proliant! I still have an old HP Proliant ML110 G6 with 16 GB RAM (from a Client now using a G10 ML350/370) as a playpen for testing stuff… I’m running Proxmox on it. This box is 9 years old, still g…
