SuSE Linux Server IT Support

My IT work involves helping small start-up companies that wish to keep their servers within their own facilities for control, security, and privacy reasons, yet don't see the need for a full time IT department.

The servers I set up are based on SuSE Linux and are configured to support users of Windows based workstations, as well as Linux and MACs. I configure and administor the SuSE Linux servers to be run on customer premises per customer requirements to provide Domain Name Services, Email Servers, Web Servers, Firewalls, Routing, Backup Servers, File Servers and Windows Domain Controllers using bare metal or XEN Virtual Machines.

My IT experience includes LAMP (Linux Apache MySQL PHP), Dovecot, Postgrey, Postfix, Sendmail, Amavis, Squirrelmail, Bynari Exchange, ClamAV, Sophos, MAIA, Spamassassin, Mediawiki, BackupPC, rsnapshot.

I am comfortable managing from the command line DNS, DHCP, LDAP, Apache WWW, Firewall, Routing, SAMBA, IMAP, and VPN. Once set up, I administer these services remotely via VPN and Trusted Networks.

I have customized my Lot Number Tracking programs to track medical specimen devices from manufacturing processes to clinics, patients, and back to analysis labs using PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, and PHP.

My primary clientelle are research companies in the Bio-Engineering fields requiring the utmost confidentiality.

Debian is my preferrered server install; not Leap or Tumbleweed.
