e-smith announces release of version 3.0 of the e-smith server and gateway e-smith announces release of version 3.0 of the e-smith server and gateway Paul Jones
e-smith, inc. today announced the release of version 3.0 of their flagship e-smith server and gateway software product. This specialized distribution of the Linux operating system converts a PC-compatible computer into a turnkey Internet server, providing routing, security, email (SMTP/POP3) and web servers, file sharing, etc.
In version 3.0, e-smith has introduced a new concept for collaboration and information sharing called information bays, or ibays. Ibays are easy-to-create, distinct sites on the e-smith hard disk that allow your e-smith server and gateway to host such things as an intranet, customer-specific web site, file download site or company shared file directory.
Other new features in this release include: upgrade to the latest version of Red Hat Linux, support for DHCP service, support for Dynamic DNS service, an optional "server-only" mode for use behind a firewall, a company LDAP directory and enhanced support for dial-on-demand service.
The software can be installed on even a low-end PC - a retired 60 Mhz Pentium computer can be converted into a reliable Internet server for a forty-person office. Because the e-smith server and gateway has been optimized for ease of use, it brings the power and reliability of Linux within reach of small and medium-sized enterprises.
