Hi @Adam, welcome aboard. Its really nice that only recently you have had some experience with the things above. I have tried to create a list…or comparison, which you may want to check and maybe add somethings.
Your experience, knowledge and skills will be valuable to the community and we are also glad that you’ve made it here. As for the features, you can thank our developers on that. I, just most of us, am just a community member (an IT guy with Windows background heavily relying on GUI) who enjoys a lively forum/community who chips in my 2 cents once in a while in whatever I can.
Hi,
my name is Chong Jit Kian, I am running a small company in Malaysia which provide data and voice network solution to small and medium businesses.
We usually get network products from well known brand and try to integrate them together as a solution and deploy to our customer. Most of the time, the solution consist of 2-3 brands and more than 3 appliances or servers in order to complete an IP-based data an voice network.
I have been looking for a software that consist of functions as a router, unified threat management firewall, directory, email, print, shared file server and PBX (Asterisk) that I can pack into a server and perform a clean and simple deployment to my customer.
There are few open source software that does the same function such as Zentyal and ClearOS and I have decided to give Nethserver a try. I just has some limited knowledge on open source software and linux but the support from the community is excellent and responsive and I know I have made a good choice to start with Nethserver.
I have been testing and learning Nethserver everyday and one day I hope I can help the community back. To the Nethserver team, great job!!
NethServeriannnnnns
It’s Monday again, hope all of your weeks are off to an amazing start!
What are all of you working on this week? Anything the community can help with?
My name is Marco and I’m a 23 years old from Salerno, Italy.
Since 2009 spent my time in research, Pentest and System administration.
One of my current job is the security assessment of “Geecom” an opensource CMS.
In my “SysAdmin life” i work specially with Debian, Ubuntu, and other distro and also work with mikrotik and ubiquiti device.
I also spent my free time on arduino and 3d printers.
I love NethServer foremost because is a point-and-click server administration.
For now I have not tried all, but is very satisfactory.
Hi Everyone, since Alessio asked I guess I have to introduce myself I currently serve as a CTO of a web development and online marketing company with 30 some employees. My career started in sysadmin, so I still like doing stuff like that. We used Zentyal for a long time, and were actually pretty satisfied with it, but their recent move to drop QoS/Traffic Shaping has made us look for alternatives. So I found out about NethServer. I am currently working on replacing Zentyal in 4 of our offices with Nethserver and see how it goes.
Ehi friend, welcome aboard! Thanks to having accepted my invite, glad to see you here. Guess you’re the first from Slovenian, hope you don’t feel alone since this place is full of new friends
Do you have already checked how to start here?
Happy to hear this, please help us to improve this document!
and tell us about your experience replying to the proper topic:
Hi,
I am Vylan from Ireland.
Am completely new to linux and found NethServer accidentaly while browsing for a samba install guide.
I have no IT education at all so it is hard to decide which is the biggest challenge in the world of linux right now
I live in Berlin, working in the social sector - part time interested in computers…
I started last year with a server at home, starting with clearos and added this year openmediavault aside. So the next step is separating the servers a little bit more with esxi:
Nethserver should work as firewall/gateway and I’m stuck with setting up a UCS AD infrastructure behind that…
Nethserver was appealing because google translator asked me on the englisch website if I wanted a translation from italian and btw., yes I like burgers
Hi Irwan, nice to meet you! First man from Indonesia , but not the first from Asia we have here: India, Srli Lanka, Philippines and so on. Are you working on Linux server? For a company?
God bless Distrowatch
That’s funny! Really? Browsing for a samba install? Can you point me out the link?
Hi Alessio, nice to meet you too. wow, first from my country!?AWESOME!!!.
not really, i’m work with various system servers, and yes, i’m working for a company.
Let see how far i can utilyze NethServer on my network.
we have couple win server for client-server apps, some linux servers for webserver and sftp and some linux distro as net firewall on branch office ( mostly zentyal or clearOS )
right now i’m still working on NethServer as our replacement for our crashed Fortigate firewall.
on NethServer, i think it’s have mostly all needed for a firewall.
maybe add some adjustment for traffic shaping to enable how much bandwidth a host/IP can use on accessing internet like fortinet can do, on NetServer, it’s only by priorty High,Medium or low.
i’m sorry if i campare it head to head with fortinet direcly.
