Been using SME-SERVER for years and have never had any issues that could not be fixed by searching the server’s contribs pages and/or forums for answers etc. The system is template based so you can change almost all system configurations without having to alter the original file. For example if you want to change the php.ini you can copy the original template to a customs template directory and fine tune your settings without actually modifying the original /etc/php.ini file. However, most settings are already included in the various databases that you can configure with simple commands like [db configuration mysqld LocalNetworkingOnly yes] and these are all well documented on the server’s koozali.org wiki pages. Off the shelf, the server is configured with a DHCP server, Mail server, File Server, DNS server, Web Server, Database Server (mysql/maria). All are set and configured in roughly 30 minutes and I’ve never had a box give me problems upon installation. Two things I would improve on is the upgrade transition that the last one v10.x required that you reinstall instead of upgrade and that the system is centos based but is always lagging a couple versions.

If you want a linux based small server system for home or office, but don't want the management overhead, this is your answer.

I ran into all the same multitude of problems Jesse did plus some he didn't mention (Had to run the time-wasting installer 3 times for it to finally complete the installation, for example). I refuse to waste my time even enumerating them here. This server distro is a just a huge steaming pile. In my life, I've come to learn that when faced with a mystery as to why something is the way it is, looking at the "money" angle will almost always provide the answer. The "Donate" button in the web portal works just fine, although some other links/buttons don't. And their obnoxious "Remember that SME Server is free to download and use, but it is *not* free to build". I would suggest that if it's such a costly burden to build, stop building it and pick some other distro to donate your spare developing time to.

Nous utilisons le serveur KOOZALI SME depuis plus de 10 ans (depuis la version 7) dans une TPME du bâtiment (7 personnes) avec une grosse messagerie et beaucoup de documents (plans, rapports, ...) et nous en sommes très satisfaits.
Nous apprécions la sécurité du serveur (protection contre les intrusions avec la contribution Fail2ban).
Nous utilisons aussi le serveur KOOZALI SME pour la sauvegarde distante avec la contribution BackupPC.
Depuis 2 ans, nous avons l'assistance de FIREWALL SERVICES, qui fait de la maintenance commerciale du serveur KOOZALI SME.

I have used this for near 20 years. Highly recommended for a SME that is not bound to windows.

Simple to install and setup, a basic secure server a simple user can use as a home file server/website/mail server etc.
Templating makes is super easy to modify ir return to defaults..

I used to use version 6 with some shares set up to hold images of Windows PCs for deployment. It was easy to set up and use. It did the job extremely well and I would like to have a use for the newest version. Its great strength is that it is not bloated with tons of stuff you don't need.
