Setting up a campus server

Hardware
A simple entry-level Intel server based machine should suffice for a normal sized institution with around 200 active users.

Server software
My favorite server software is Ubuntu server. Ubuntu Server Edition is becoming the platform of choice in the server market. In less than five years since its launch, Ubuntu Server now powers over 400,000 of the world’s websites, including giants such as Wikipedia.

Available for FREE, its text based interface is enough to deter a novice user but with the help of Webmin, administrating it is relatively simple.

* Free to use
* No license restrictions
* Easy integration with most OS clients and environments
* Easy to use built-in security features
