I work for a small school that needs some serious upgrades to there computers and to there network and of course not enough money. There are 4 things I need to do this summer on about a $1000 budget. I am very committed to giving the school the best for there money.
1. Move the 30 computers that are split into 3 workgroups into one domain. Can I do this with out paying $700 for a copy of Server 2003? I dont much about Linux but I can learn would Samba be an option?
2. Install content filtering I was thinking ipcop and Dans Guardian that seems to be the most popular choice.
3. Set-up library catalog system This is only if I can stretch the money this far. It will cost $300 for the program and about $100 for the wand.
4. Set-up a file server that can be used for back up and other general file sharing and a way to back that up for redundancy. I was thinking of getting a 250GB NAS. Any suggestions on a brand would be great. I am looking in the $200 price range.
Thanks in advance for the advice.
