First off I'm a networking noob :P
What I want to do is setup an intranet for my office. My boss saw me using linux and was impressed - he asked me if I can setup an intranet for the office.
We're an engineering firm and we have 2 storage drives (one for documents the other for CAD files) and they're both on a Windows NT server 2003. There's so many files that it's hard to find something you want.
So what my boss has asked me to do is to setup a departmental search page (html) that can also have a daily bulletins and other announcements. This has to be based on Linux.
For ex: You open up your browser that defaults to the local page. You get the daily news (company trips etc) and can also browse to the files on the servers.
Data storage servers <---> Linux Intranet Comp <----> End User
What would I need to do? Is this samba or ? I'm kinda clueless about this :P
