Good Day.
I have been using e-smith as a gateway server at home for several years, and am very pleased with its performance. It was easy to install and configure, and is pretty much turn-key but now I want to learn more about how it operates.
In particular, I want to read about the basics, then delve into ways I can modify my server to do the things I want. I would also like to find out how I can filter out possible viruses, and maybe even go after spammers. Also, what firewall is available for the e-smith/SME system, preferably free.
This is a very aggressive task I want to set for myself, and as such I would like opinions and constructive advice on where to look (books, web resources, etc.).
Thanks!
