SME Server is billed as a complete, secure, stable and versatile Open Source Linux Server distribution for small to medium sized enterprises. It is based on the rock solid CentOS/Redhat sources and brought to you by a large, active and skilled community, providing development, contribs (plugins) and support, since 2007.
Features include:
- Simple to setup and use – installation and basic configuration takes less than 20 minutes, and every configuration option can be set via a web-based interface.
- Secure and stable to operate – SME Server only includes what is necessary. Stability comes from using proven, supported CentOS/Redhat sources and from an update system that notifies you with available updates.
- Cross-platform and extendible to meet future needs – SME Server already has everything necessary to provide the core services most people need to network Linux and Windows systems. Dozens of contribs (Plugins) provide extra functionality.
SME Server integrates easily with Windows, Mac, and Unix/Linux clients, and within Linux and Windows network environments. It’s as simple to use as a business server platform, but unlike a commercial solutions the entire system is modular and extensible, so it can be tailored to the needs of individual businesses.

What's a Linux distribution ("distro")? |
| A distro provides the user with a desktop environment, preloaded applications, and ways to update and maintain the system. Each distro makes different choices, deciding which open source projects to install and provides custom written programs. They can have different philosophies. Some distros are intended for desktop computers, some for servers without a graphical interface, and others for special uses. Because Linux is an open source operating system, combinations of software vary between Linux distros. |
