Title: is the a contrib for e-smith that works somewhat like WEBppl
Post by: Arjay on August 28, 2003, 11:01:14 PM

my friend took me a tour to their webserver and showed my to his great tool which is called WEBppliance. then when i got home, i searched in google to see where he got that program but to my surprice that it cost so much. im just a dsl user that is giving free website space for my friends and i cant afford to buy such kind of expensive tool. so im looking for a free "clone" of WEBppliance so somehow my webserver in my sme 5.6 will look like profesional-like. and also i need that feature of WEBppliance of limiting their bandwidth consumtion to avoid them to make me a download server.

any advices is greatly appreciated :)

You shouldn't confuse "slick" with professional. :-) In my opinion, the server-manager is actually quite nice and if you want an even more pro look, just use putty (or ssh):

Nothing beats the CLI. :-)

:-) i think you're right! open source is still the best!

Arjay,

Yes SME can be used like an appliance.  There are many contributions that will allow you to add features too, including the bandwith limiting feature you want.
