• Notes: In case where multiple versions of a package are shipped with a distribution, only the default version appears in the table. For indication about the GNOME version, please check the "nautilus" and "gnome-shell" packages. The Apache web server is listed as "httpd" and the Linux kernel is listed as "linux". The KDE desktop is represented by the "plasma-desktop" package and the Xfce desktop by the "xfdesktop" package.
  

• Jeu de couleurs: green text = dernière version stable, red text = version de développement ou bêta. The function determining beta versions is not 100% reliable due to a wide variety of versioning schemes.

For example if you want to change the php.ini you can copy the original template to a customs template directory and fine tune your settings without actually modifying the original /etc/php.ini file. However, most settings are already included in the various databases that you can configure with simple commands like [db configuration mysqld LocalNetworkingOnly yes] and these are all well documented on the server’s koozali.org wiki pages. Off the shelf, the server is configured with a DHCP server, Mail server, File Server, DNS server, Web Server, Database Server (mysql/maria). All are set and configured in roughly 30 minutes and I’ve never had a box give me problems upon installation. Two things I would improve on is the upgrade transition that the last one v10.x required that you reinstall instead of upgrade and that the system is centos based but is always lagging a couple versions.

I refuse to waste my time even enumerating them here. This server distro is a just a huge steaming pile. In my life, I've come to learn that when faced with a mystery as to why something is the way it is, looking at the "money" angle will almost always provide the answer. The "Donate" button in the web portal works just fine, although some other links/buttons don't. And their obnoxious "Remember that SME Server is free to download and use, but it is *not* free to build". I would suggest that if it's such a costly burden to build, stop building it and pick some other distro to donate your spare developing time to. Was this review helpful?
