Complete Turn Key Linux Server

[Matt Darnell]

Aloha,

I am embarking on a project with the following goals:

1.Build a server that will have the following capabilities
    Firewall/Proxy server with VPN capability
    PoP/SMTP/IMAP Email server
    Web Server
    FTP Server
    DHCP Server
    Print Server
    File Server - users can map drives with permissions
    Inbound and Outbound fax server    
    Voicemail System

2.Be able to "mass produce" the load with some type of software protection so others could not simply copy the hard drive to make their own servers.

3.Use an operating system that is inexpensive, highly reliable, and does not use lots of resources. (Sounds like Linux)

4.Have a Web interface to allow an administrator to add a user on one screen and an account in all the servers is created.

It appears from reading the Mandrake web page that was recommended for a first load that the network type things are relatively easy.  The fax, and voicemail might be more of a challenge.

I think their is a large market for such a server.  It would go beyond other boxs like Cobalts Cube3.  Being in the Telecom/Data community here in Hawaii I know it would sell.

I would appriciate any feedback from anyone willing to lend a hand.  I have an established vehicle to deliver the product and would be willing to split profits etc.

Aloha,
Matt
