La société nethesis, en Italie, travaille sur un fork de SME server. Je ne sais pas pour le moment ce que ça vaut, voici l'annonce parue sur une liste Contribs :
Nethesys a écrit :during the last months, we (Nethesis) tried to build what we think
could be a good SME-oriented distro:
NethServer
Our goals were:
- simple configuration
- quick trouble shooting
- fast development of new features
We think we can achieve those goals with:
- a new dynamic, streamlined user-interface
- standard components, tested widespread configurations
- minimal differences with upstream
We would like to attract developers and sysadmins, so we hope that
having a common, well known environment would be a good start.
We use and like Smeserver, we think that templates and events are a
great idea, so we retained them, along with the plain text
configuration databases in NethServer. We built from scratch the new
server-manager interface, in php. We rebuilt the mail server using
postfix, amavis and dovecot.
We are still working on many features and writing documentation for
contribs developers, but we hope to have reached a point were an alpha
release is good enough to have your opinion.
This alpha release is well tested but not ready for production environments.
NethServer is released under the GPL, development is open, developers
are welcome.

A noter :
C'est une version Alpha
Pas de visibilité sur l'avenir de la chose pour le moment
Par défaut, le clavier est en italien, il faut modifier le fichier /etc/sysconfig/keyboard
Je suis en train de télécharger, c'est lent
Bref, pas du tout pour de la prod aujourd'hui, mais peut-être à suivre ?
A+,
