Open SUSE small-server

Updated on sept 24, 2016

I have for now nearly 10 years a small server available from the net, as http and mail server for me and my family. This server was, long time ago, hosted on my own DSL line, being physically on an old laptop on my desk (headless - no monitor).

Some years ago I decided to earn a hosted server at http://kimsufi.com, the price being very low. every some years I change server to have a better or a cheaper one. Often I do this when I need to change obsolete distribution for a new one.
