Hi Guys I have been contacted by a local company that are interested in moving to a network of Linux managed computers and servers. This is getting beyond my knowledge base but the company are willing to allow me to expand my knowledge and learn as I build, and they will in fact pay me to do it as well! I have talked things through with the boss and he would like me to put together a quote and a system that will work for them and also enable the computer to cut software costs and be safer. The system is fairly simple but does throw up some interesting issues. The big issue is Sage. They run it for their accounts and grab various reports. It runs as a server programme that also runs an .exe file on the clients. Is anyone aware of whether it is possible to run Sage through Crossover or virtualisation software please? Eventually the system will need to run about 8 or 10 pcs connecting to a file server and running an intranet and a client/order database. Is there software available that will run on Linux that will allow multiple connections and provide some sort of client management system please? What hardware would you go for? - For a file server - a nas box or purpose built system, for a server to run the client management programme/sage etc. And the pcs themselves. Many thanks for all the help. -- Kind regards Rich http://www.cregy.co.uk Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him.
