AVA-SBS is a simple easy to use installer / admin tool for a couple of popular open source projects that are very difficult to set up. Here is a list of what you get when you install AVA-SBS

*1. SAMBA PDC
*2. OpenLDAP
*3. Open-Xchange
*4. Postfix
*5. Cyrus IMAP
*6. Spam Assassin
*7. ClamAV
*8. Webmin
*9. Bind
*10. AVA-ADM
here is a brief description of what each one is.
SAMBA PDC – As most of you know when configured as a PDC Samba basically becomes a Primary NT Domain Controller. When authenticated to a directory service such OpenLDAP It becomes something the very much resembles Active Directory. Samba setup with ldap is an advanced project that is difficult to do.
OpenLDAP – OpenLDAP is the standard open source LDAP directory server installed with most distribution's.
Open-Xchange – Open-Xchange formally known as SUSE Openexchange or SLOX is a MS exchange replacement that offers shared calendaring contacts and tasks. Open-Xchange also uses OpenLdAP as its back end directory server. Open-Xchange also come with a very nice web based client. For an extra $20 you can also pick up Oxlook an un open software addon that allows Outlook 2000 and up to connect to Open-Xchange.
*Postfix is an email server
*Cyrus IMAP allow imap services though Posfix
*Spam Assassin is a highly excepted standared when it comes to spam protection.
*ClamAV is email server win32 antivirus protection solution
