IN BRIEF
Version 10 of SME Server is a distro for small and medium businesses (SMBs) whose development is supported by the non-profit Koozali Foundation. The distro exists to reduce the effort it takes to set up a gateway server by hiding the complexities behind an easy-to-use browser-based graphical interface.
SPECS
Minimum: CPU: 1.8GHz
Memory: 4GB
HDD: 20GB
Build: 64-bit only
Koozali SME Server exists in an interesting niche of distros that have successfully managed to abstract the process of deploying a feature-rich gateway network server behind a point-and-click interface, significantly streamlining the cumbersome process.
You can use SME as an effective gateway server that manages your network’s connectivity to the internet. Not just for orchestrating the flow of network data to and from the computers inside your network, but also securing it in the process, minimising the risk of intrusions.
