We chose Debian Linux, because the person who is responsible for our server and network is an official debian-developer. I'm myself responsible for making a PHP-interface to all the different services we are running. It is my goal to have all of these working together in my PHP-driven intranet-site: - NFS for storing all our documents, templates etc. (*) - dovecot for our IMAP-mail (***) - asterisk for our telephones (*) - LDAP for our addressbooks (* - Read only) - davical for our calendars (* - Read only) - templating over PHP for our standardized documents (**) - billing and time management (***) * = done ** = not completely working *** = planned feature Any of the features that is not working in my PHP-driven frontend, can be done with standalone applications (file manager, openoffice, evolution) or webbased applications (contagged, roundcube webmail etc.). That's the whole purpose of my system: tailored to fit our needs and if it should fail, we're not tied to this app, because it is built around open standards. It is a lot of work, but since a month or two it is really getting usable and saving us time. We have an accountant that does all the billing for us, so I don't have any recommendations on that. Bambooinvoice looks good. Maybe I could give it a try... HTH
