Hi all,
I'm looking for a (preferably free) alternative to SME / Clark Connect.
I basically need the following:
- firewall
- nat
- VPN
- bandwidth limiting / monitoring
- email (SMTP / POP3 / IMAP) & groupware
- file & printer sharing
- RAID support
- if possible fail-over / high availability support.
I need to support about 15 - 30 (some part time) students, so I would
like to keep the costs low. If it's free, so much better. SME works
for most of the stuff, but it still runs on CentOS 4, and I'd prefer
to use 5.
Any recommendations?

Pfsense(FreeBSD based) can be an alternative, although it doesn't support email/groupware out of the box...but it doesn't mean that it can't be done.
http://www.pfsense.org
I've been running it on a Dell Optiplex PIII for almost 2 years without any issue using NAT, Port Fowarding, Dual WAN(Cable and ADSL), Captive portal, DNS Server, Snort, etc.
hope it helps.
