  • DNS Server (bind9, dnsmasq)
  • DHCP (dhcpd, dnsmasq)
  • KERBEROS (client,server?)

    • "Exim. The only reasonable alternative MTA is postfix if you care about security. sendmail and qmail are available as Debian packages but are not recommended."
    • For exim, "dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config -f gnome"
    • How to configure postfix?
    • I recommend a "What mail server do you wish to run? Postfix (here is why). Exim (here is why). For each then offer the debconf.
