We are in the process of networking our classrooms, business lab, CAD drawing lab, computer lab, libraries, and administrative offices. We currently have the administrative offices networked with a basic server (4 gig hard drive 64 RAM). With our current budget we have put in 5 drops in all the rooms (approx. 30 rooms)- (labs have more) with internet in two of the labs. We will be adding a bigger server soon to better handle the new drops. What we are looking for is: Putting in Novell or similar to handle both Mac and IBM compat PC's Lotus for inter room messaging An antivirus program And a program for security The ability to use both Mac and PC programs on the same system The ability to access the internet from all pc's Share printers We (technology committee) are looking into different OS systems and are interested in FreeBSD, but are not quite sure how this system will work for us. I have had several people from FreeBSD (supporters?) e-mail me,quite promptly, with lots of information. Though all the e-mail has been informative, I'm still not sure how we can intagrate FreeBSD into our system.
