Hello... a new Fedora Server will come to life

[rimmon]

Hello, I'm a brand new subscriber from Italy...

Next week I will receive my little server (8 UW-SCSI discs, IBM ServeRAID controller) and I'll start to experiment with FC1...

My desired final setup will be:

- ASSP antispam SMTP proxy
- EXIM + MySQL support + Exiscan patch
- ClamAV antivirus
- Apache + Auth_MySQL + WebDAV

I will create a forum, so, when someone asked to register, he will receive:

1 forum account, will be "username"
1 mailbox (with antispam, antivirus) say "username@mydomain.it"
1 web domain, say "username.mydomain.it"
1 WebDAV access to his/her webspace (authenticated by the same username/password of the forum, reachable only via HTTPS)

The SMTP server will be configured to accept relaying only via TLS connections+username/password

Obviously, all "forum users" will be completely "virtual"... no real UNIX users...

Has anyone experience about a similar setup? Some suggestions? Some caveats?

Obviously, when the project will come to an end, I'll wrote some nice HOWTO about it...

Hello everybody...

thanks to the ServeRAID controller and the superb Anaconda installer, I did a "firewall-like" install with the OS installed over a couple of hardware RAID-1 disks...

HEY! issuing a "linux jfs" at the install boot prompt, you can use the JFS filesystem during the initial setup!!!

Volume Group:

rootvg

Logical volumes:

root / ext3
usr /usr ext3
var /var ext3
tmp /tmp ext3

Obviously, the /boot partition is out of the volume group setup...

Uhmmm... someone can explain why the hell "Midnight Commander" is linked by default with the "X" libraries???

And... can I rebuild the "mc" from SRPMS without the X libraries???
How?
