=
=0D=0A
Hi guys,
I have(or better may have) a project to = build and =0D=0Amaintain a company's network=2E
I was thinking into prop= osing gentoo since it's =0D=0Agot my heart, but I have some questions about= which things should i use for a =0D=0Abase installation=2E
My setup wi= ll look like this:
big server with 2 or 3 =0D=0Agigabit ethernet cards a= nd lots of sata drives in a big raid array=2E
disk less =0D=0Aworkstatio= ns with 512mb or 1gb of ram, nvidia or integrated video and a gigabit =0D= =0Aethernet card=2E
and of course a gigabit ethernet switch=2E

F= irst of all =0D=0Alet's start with the clients=2E=2E=2E
I am a Gnome fan= and I think it is better and =0D=0Asimpler to use, but them if you have wi= ndows users that you want to put to use =0D=0Alinux, kde might be a better = option=2E=2E=2E although this is a matter of taste I =0D=0Awould accept som= e suggestions(without killing each other here), bu please take =0D=0Ain con= sideration all the things i want to add=2E

Things =0D=0Arequired:Email,
Calendar  sharing,
IM,
Office suite,
other =0D=0A= bullshit managers use to put you to work(suggestions accepted here) =0D=0A:= )
Web  browsing,
A content management system

= I also =0D=0Athink that some eye candy would be gr8 to have =2E=2E=2E I tri= ed both compiz and =0D=0Aberyl, but none were stable for me=2E=2E=2E it's t= rue i was using nvidia's beta driers =0D=0Abut anyway=2E have any of you tr= ied compiz or beryl? which one is really stable =0D=0Aand ready to use for = a company? Is the Xgl+(compiz|beryl) variant stable? I for =0D=0Aone really= liked beryl's features but it seems to be more unstable than compiz=2E =0D= =0A

Now for updates =2E=2E which profile do you think would better s= uit a =0D=0Acompany =2E=2E should I use hardend gentoo? Is there a version = of gentoo that keeps =0D=0Athings down with the upgrades to stable packages= or I should keep my own tree =0D=0Aand sync only the stuff I want and test= into it?

Now the nice =0D=0Apart,
What about the disk less clie= nts? is there a way to keep a stable file =0D=0Asystem for all the workstat= ions without requiring to copy all the base files for =0D=0Aeach workstatio= n? It would be nice to be able to dynamical add workstations to =0D=0Athe n= etwork without requiring admin intervention=2E=2E=2E
From what I have s= een in =0D=0Athe gentoo diskless faq it suggested doing an separate dir for= each client in =0D=0Athe network=2E=2E=2E=2E

The big questions are:=
What software/configurations =0D=0Awould you use if you would want to d= o this with gentoo?
What are the good =0D=0Apoints in using the system = instead of using MS Windows (besides the =0D=0Amoney)?

PS: Excuse my= English=2E

Thanks,
Alexandru =0D=0AMincu < mincua@gmail=2Ecom>
