LINUX FOR THE PRODUCTION ENVIROMENT

From Martin Sapola

Answered By Mike Orr

Hi

I don't if you are the right person to help me but the following is my request;

I embarking on a project to build entry level servers running linux (Caldera eserver) for file/printer sharing, internet access and database applications. The applications I would like to use are as follows;

1. Postgresql
2. Squid
3. Apache
4. Sql-ledger
5. Sendmail
6. Samba

I will appreciate your advice.

[Mike] Hi. What is your question? Linux is being widely used in production environments for all these activities, and has been for several years.

Except perhaps for Sql-ledger. I'm not sure what that is. Is it a specific class of applications different from an ordinary SQL server? Do you know of a product running on Linux which does Sql-ledger? Or what kinds of accounting programs would be acceptable in its place?

The Answer Gang can answer short, specific questions that would be of interest to a significant portion of our readership. (All questions and answers are considered for publication, although you can be anonymous if you request.) However, if it's a large, general question like "help me design my office network" or "help me write an application which does this", we would steer you to the Linux documentation and to paid consultants.
