Project planing - with Linux based solutions
Hello,
Please suggest or share any of your experience for the following requests:
Request:
1.
Creation of the local network.
The company will be in the field of IT.
10-15 persons. 10 will be physically in the office.
The local network should be secured and all the files and documents should be encrypted.
The network should have possibility of VPN or some other secure distance connection to internal network (to gain access to internal documentation or software)
Type of open source firewall? Should it be on separate server?
For the router: not sure yet, will see the budget, but probably will configure some Cisco router or Linux version (any suggestion for linux server router os?)
Request:
To create network architecture, including solution of back-up server.
To choose type of servers and OS that will be used.
2. Creation of secured email communication.
All the emails should be encrypted.
All the emails on the email server should be kept in encrypted format.
Need to choose server OS.
Need to choose server type that will correspond to request.
3. Choosing and integrating internal management system - ERP software.
Example: Alfresco or BitrixSoft)
===
So my questions:
If for the beginning will decide to use only open source free based software.
What can be sugested.
For the beginning, for example, will have 2 servers.
1 server for: local network, files sharing, hosting of intranet website, email.
What open source virtualization software can be suggested to use on this server to separate resources between Main Local server, Email Server, File server, Intranet hosting server?
What can be suggested from Linux distributions to use as main local server (user control, access ect.)?
What can be suggested as Linux email server? (should include encryption as describe below, option of calendar, tasks and all futures as closed as possible to Exchange of Microsoft) - and what are the most user-friendly options?
Is their any suggestion for ERP software beside Alfresco or BitrixSoft (I tested Bitrix - and it is really good, but expensive for the beginning...). Is their any good open source ERP solutions?
2. server for back up. What solution can be suggested here?
===
Also, for later steps of software development need to choose the standard of software process development.
What can be suggested?
Examples:
Rational Unified Process (RUP)
MICROSOFT SOLUTIONS FRAMEWORK (MSF)
Thank you in advance

dhcp-helper
DHCP-HELPER(8) System Manager's Manual DHCP-HELPER(8)
NAME
dhcp-helper - A DHCP/BOOTP relay agent.
SYNOPSIS
dhcp-helper [OPTION]...
DESCRIPTION
dhcp-helper is a DHCP and BOOTP relay agent. It listens for DHCP and BOOTP broadcasts on directly connected subnets and relays them to DHCP
or BOOTP servers elsewhere. It also relays replies from the remote servers back to partially configured hosts. Once hosts are fully config-
ured they can communicate directly with their servers and no longer need the services of a relay.
OPTIONS
The only required option is at least one DHCP server to relay to. The simplest way to configure dhcp-helper on a router is just to give the
interface to the network containing the DHCP server with a -b option. All the other interfaces present on the machine will then accept DHCP
requests. On a machine which does not have an interface on the network containing the DHCP server, use a -s option instead.
-s <server>
Specify a DHCP or BOOTP server to relay to. The server may be given as a machine name or dotted-quad IP address. More than one
server may be specified.
-b <interface>
Relay to a DHCP or BOOTP server using broadcast via <interface>. This eliminates the need to give a server address. <interface> is
automatically added to the list of interfaces which will not receive DHCP requests.
-i <interface>
Specify which local interfaces to listen on for DHCP/BOOTP broadcasts. If no -i flags are given all interfaces are used except those
specified by -e flags and those specified by -b flags.
-e <interface>
Specify which local interfaces to exclude.
-p Use alternative ports (1067/1068) for the DHCP client and server.
-v Report the software release version and copyright information.
-d Debug mode, do not change UID, write a pid-file or go into the background.
-r <file>
Specify an alternate path for dhcp-helper to record its process-id in. Normally /var/run/dhcp-helper.pid.
-u <username>
Specify the userid to which dhcp-helper will change after startup. The daemon must normally be started as root, but it will drop
root priviledges after startup by changing id to another user. Normally this user is "nobody" but that can be over-ridden with this
switch.
NOTES
Dhcp-helper requires a 2.2 or later Linux kernel. The "Linux packet filter" and "packet socket" facilities are not required, which is the
chief advantage of this software over the ISC DHCP relay daemon.
