What jobs/tasks is NethServer the best at?

medworthy:

I have a few concerns about the ability of this project when considering about other user requirements and the ability for NS to be scaled up, as well as to be able to use NS within larger infrastructures, these issues include the lack of ability to change from recursive caching DNS to a authoritative DNS (from within the admin UI), the lack of being able to define extra partitions / storage devices (with the exception of USB devices and network storage) for backups and file storage, the lack of a module to define the users own CA certificates, the ability for the user to define cronjobs (from the UI) and (to a lesser degree) the slightly out-dated look of the administration interface. I also have a slight issue with the amount of choice when choosing a suitable groupware infrastructure (at the moment there is a choice of 3 projects depending on the users needs – OwnCloud, Webtop and SoGo, whilst I understand that choice is usually a good idea, would it not be wise to have a single platform that would allow for a level of consistence?)

A lot of concerns here and I think every comment deserves a different topic. What do you think?

Regarding DNS feel free to add your ideas here:
How about PowerDNS?
Replace dnsmasq with BIND9
“lack of being able to define extra partitions / storage devices” we have already this:
Disk Management feature request
CA, let’s encrypt might do the job
NethServer 6.7 02/16 updates & Let's Encrypt
Webtop and SOGo, you may be right. Add your thoughts here:
Webtop vs sogo thinking
LDAP administration will be available with 7 version

Why not? Please open a new topic so we can involve more people and collect some ideas @a4rgl.

Do you mean this?
