So … which Linux distro got the job?

Well, it took a while but I finally have a mail/groupware server alternative to Exchange Server in the shape of Kerio MailServer6. But what to run it on?

If you’ve been following this saga, you’ll know that the initial brief I set of replacing Exchange Server expanded into a need to replace the underlying Windows server operating system as well with one of the many Linux variants out there. But which?

Fedora Core 6 is the answer – at least for me. Being based on Red Hat it had the blend of server functions and management tools I was looking for as well as access to the latest stable versions of Samba.
