Right, lets make this quick, because its a long story otherwise.
I was hired by a company to plan a server and network for the office, including 6 PC's, 6 VOIP phones, several network attached devices.
Anyways, I have now been informed they have spent, a rather large amount of money on a project management peice of software, the problem is, it requires a linux setup, as does the PBX software they have purchased. (both these were made without my consultation)
So rather than lose out, they have requested I set up the server to be linux run. The downside is, I have not done a linux based network before. I have informed them, however they would prefer me to do the work, and are giving me a large headroom for the learning curve.
Quick looks over the software they have purchased, ubuntu is the distro of choice, but am open to any suggestions and / or help you can provide in doing the set up.
A quick google search pulled up this site, http://www.zentyal.org/
Any comments you have are VERY welcome.
Vertical learning curve, here we come
