need some home networking help

[Richard Esplin]

I got tired of maintaining all of this stuff, so I setup Zentyal Server. It's an Ubuntu based small business server. It does a good job at making setup easy, without breaking the standard ways to solve problems.

Here is my blog post abount it:

It might make sense to have someone do it for you, but maintenance might be easier if they use Zentyal.
