i run a workgroup of 30 pcs ranging from p4 (3 ghz) to p! (<600 mhz). i know its silly and maintaining it is a headache. now i want to install some server software but our organisation cant afford to by windows server software. (we are a school in the south west pacific) all pc's are clones and refurbished.
we have manged to get a souped up pc to act as our server (p4 , 3.2 ghz, 1 gb RAM). i want to set up a server on this new pc nut am looking for someting like windows 2003 server but open source and of course free. i also wnat to create user account so that when kids og on they gain access to their shared folders on the server. i also intend to control internet access from this server.
also want to filter pornographic sites from this server.
i have never used or seen a server software before, only read about it.
please i need suggestions for versatile and easy to install and implement server programs.
also documentation and guides for the true novice in me.
