Our company has decided to at least seriously investigate moving away from Windows due to nightmares with Vista and Active Directory. The only applications the machines need to be able to run are Firefox and Thunderbird.
What we need is:
- A central server, running Linux or BSD
- Other machines connect and authenticate to central server
- Simple file sharing between other machines and server
Basically, a really simple version of Active Directory, all we need that main server for is centralized authentication.
Is there a distribution of Linux/BSD that is ready to do this out of the box with minimal configuration? We don't want to spend 6 months getting everything installed and ready, I need it to just work. Does it exist?
Thanks!
