server console screen is probably the most un-used screen ever...

Usually, mine I change it to default to login screen..

What you need to do is to access the machine from remote via http://your_server_ip_address/server-manager

First thing you probably need to do is to configure the remote access and enable the SSH with administrative capability.

If you're on windows, use WinSCP3 and Putty..  These are your best tools ever for working with SME..

Browse the Contribs Page for various useful addons

Quick answers...
1.  Look in Contribs for Squidguards, can't tell much, never use 'em myself
2.  AD, nope..  Domain Controller yes..  Look in server-manager..  Notsure about AD, but search the forums for Samba 3.0.0
3.  Search the Contribs
4.  Read above about Putty, you can also access the shell from Server Console Screen, but I forget how  
5.  Click here for Documentations
6a. Within reason..  Look at Contribs..
6b. ?
7.  Usually yes but depending on your requirements...
8.  YES!

As briank said, we can't really spoonfeed you..  But we can help you help yourself  Good luck on your SME..

Try reading this
http://www.dungog.net/sme/help/
and searching the forums

A search for python will find many documentation and forum posts and web links.

Hi,

I installed Python 2.3.4 from source (http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.3.4/Python-2.3.4.tgz)

unzip it (tar -zxvf Python-2.3.4.tgz)
./configure
make
make install

Then Python 2.3.4 automatically became default.

You can also download the rpm's from http://www.python.org/2.3.4/rpms.html

hello

I downloded again python 2.3.4 RPm file, and tried to install with:

rpm _Uvh python2.3-2.3.4-3pydotorg.src.rpm
  and also tried  with
rpm _iUvh python2.3-2.3.4-3pydotorg.src.rpm
Respone with both above commands:
1:python2.3   ########################## [100%]

But still i try to install mailman it sya

python 2.1 is minimum requierd
python 2.3 is recomended

what to do now

mobassir

You need to learn some of the basics first

> rpm _Uvh python2.3-2.3.4-3pydotorg.src.rpm

Use
rpm -Uvh rpmname

and don't try to install the source (src) rpms, these are the wrong ones, they do nothing if you "try" to install them

If you bothered to do a search you would have found this

Hello

Oh sorry that was just typing mistake here in the post ,otherwise i used proper command,

rpm -Uvh python2.3-2.3.4-3pydotorg.src.rpm

but i agree with u i realy need some basic help, becouse i am not used to with linux command, but trying to get knowlage from internet search and expert like u.

thanks for reply

Read my post, it said
"and don't try to install the source (src) rpms, these are the wrong ones, they do nothing if you "try" to install them"

by that I mean don't install rpmname.src.rpm etc etc

The correct command is something like (depending on the actual rpm name)
rpm -Uvh python2.3-2.3.4-3pydotorg.rpm
(without the src, and of course you do not download the src rpms)

If you follow the search link I gave it tells you how  to download the rpms and how to install them.
