Re: [LUG] Best linux distro for home file server

Zentyal..??

It's an option, certainly - but have you any experience of it?

I evaluated it last year and discarded it fairly early as it became clear that the community (free) version was significantly behind development to bolster the sales of the paid version and that community support was quite sparse. I also found the tone of the upselling on the site strongly offputting.

This is a model that is becoming increasingly common as companies who face debts seek to monetize their products, or are bought out and plundered, but it's not one *I* would willingly choose over truly free alternatives.
