This is my first post in the Nethserver community and I’d like to thank the development team for this wonderful all-in-one server package.
this is my first attempt ever with Linux and servers and before deciding to choose Nethserver , I actually installed about 20 Linux serves and firewalls in VMs like clearos , zentyal , pfsense , routeros , …etc.
after playing with all these servers for about one weeks ,I finally decided to go for Nethserver , for me Nethserver was the clear winner having a user friendly interface , light on resources , modules based , and rich functionality but none of these was the main reason for choosing Nethserver.
The main point that made me decide to pick Nethserver was its community and for me any piece of software without an active community helping each other, report bugs and suggest new features is a dead one
Happy New Year!

Happy New Years with us!

i’m currently using nethserver as a home server as a replacement for my router hat was flashed with custom firmware DD-WRT
i was experiencing many network issues struggling to run the fax , printers , desktops , mobile devices , NAS all together , that was partly due to hardware and software limitations of the router itself , so i decided to search for a more capable server that can do all of this for me , and nethserver was the final answer fot this.
despite being a physician , i consider computer and programming to be my1st hobby , you can just google dr.hany pes modding , lol , i also shared in the beta testing for many security products and popular software firewall hips
ahah I was a huge PES player too 
Uh that’s interesting! Would you like to help us with testing?

Hi Alessio, i’m working on the translation, but if the involvement in the
@quality_team is directed by other and i’m assigned specific tasks, i’ll do
my best to help.
Ehi man, thanks for your help and sorry for the late response 
We test new things every day, so when I mention the quality team it would be great if you can chime in and lend a hand.
