As many of you already know I'm experiencing some sort of hylafax/samba integration for a mixed Windows environment, this blog is for creating a PDF/PostScript printer easily, no matter of what you do with the printer; when you print on it you'll produce a Postscript/PDF document
requirements:
A samba server installation up and running

The eBox Platform is a suite of software for managing networking and other features. I stumbled onto eBox a few years ago and have since used it in many locations including my home network. The project was and still is hosted in Spain by some very capable folks. Community involvement and grants have supported some of the developers.

There are going to be some big changes at my company. And they will hardly be noticed. While the users will keep using their Windows XP/Office 2007 desktops, the backoffice will undergo a major overhaul. The Microsoft Small Business Server that, honestly, has served us well will be going away as we move to full featured systems without limitations.
I hired a consultant to design a system with high availability for mission critical functions and a 72 hour disaster recovery window. I stressed I wanted to use open source wherever practical. They have done the environment discovery and will be presenting their recommendations in a couple of weeks. We have talked about using a Windows Server as a DC to provide Active Directory authentication, Windows Software Update Services, DNS, DHCP, WINS, etc., We will also keep our Sharepoint Services 3.o intranet. Everything else will be running on CentOS5 servers. Email will be Kerio Mail Server, file sharing/storage will be Samba. Website will be Joomla. While the Kerio Mail Server is not open source itself, it does rely heavily on open source products such as Apache, MySQL, ClamAV, SpamAssassin, et al. I'll be extremely happy to see Exchange Server go and the end users will not see much difference at all with their Outook connected to KMS.
