Roaming Computing System (Windows Edition) 3.2 - Server Setup

The server runs the Debian GNU/Linux operating system, version 4.0 'Etch', freely available from debian.org. This server is setup using techniques described in a couple of our documents.

Install Twix in root's home directory by following the instructions at http://thegoldenear.org/toolbox/unices/twix/.

Use Twix to setup the following features from the 'Server Setup with Debian 4.0 Etch' guide:

• RAID (If you have at least 2 disks; use this even if the server has true hardware RAID) for a RAID1 array
• LVM
• SSH server
• General Configuration
• NTP - Set The Time From An Internet Time Server
• MySQL - database server
• Mail server
• Fetchmail mail retrieval
• Print server(optional, if you have only a few workstations it may not be worth it)
• Webmin - web browser-based system administration
• UPS - Uninterruptible Power Supply Monitoring (if you have a UPS)

Setup the backup to USB-attached hard disk(s) using 'Auto backup a server to a hotswap USB disk'.

Setup the Samba domain, print sharing and WPKG for Windows by following 'Setting up a Samba 3 primary domain controller and file/print/software deployment server, using Debian 4.0 Etch'.
