Theres remote folder sync in windows. You'll probably haveto fake with rsync for other clients.<br><br>If everyones documents are all office documents a sharepoint workalike (or just plan webdav svn mounted as a rontpage folder) will do just fine. For sourcecode just use svn normally. <br>
<br>Also, I'd reccomend jabber over IRC, unless everyone there is IRC savvy. IRC has a lot of features, but most people "just understand" jabber.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Feb 9, 2009 at 12:17 AM, Michael Lee <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mlee456@gmail.com">mlee456@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I have a situation where I have users in several different locations. Currently they are all VPN'ed to the main office so they can access an Oracle Server using Red Hat that is central to their operation. I really don't have access to the Oracle Server and really don't want to touch it if I can help it.<div>
<br></div><div>All the desktops are those "other OS's"</div><div><br></div><div>My problem is that I have to get all these desktops on some shared/private storage directories with roaming profiles, login scripts and central authentication with mixed clients ( Windows, Mac OS ). </div>
<div><br></div><div>I have been tossing around a single server accessible via the VPN vs. multiple servers at each location that sync user directories, shared folders and maybe ldap tables, I'd love to run Postfix, Samba, Squid, and all the other linux goodies. I was even thinking of a private IRC so persons in the separate offices can "chat via the channel" </div>
<div><br></div><div>I figured I'd toss it up to the group for ideas.</div><div><br></div><div>So far I've looked into Debian, Ubuntu, ClarkConnect, SLES, back to Debian. I'm about to load up a server and go back to Ubuntu again so I can take a look at ebox as a management tool.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Any suggestions?</div><div><br></div><div>P.S. Big up to kupo who spotted me on the irc.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks in advance for any and all ideas</div><div><br></div><div>Mike Lee</div>
