So it is possible very quickly a small home server with many useful features. The tool which makes this possible is called pakfire. The IPFire developers have built pakfire with the goal of simplifying the installation of an addon or updateoften requiring just a few mouse clicks. General safety information for addons are highlighted in the following articles. Currently there are two different groups of addons: stable: After an installation of IPFire the only addons available are those which were tested and stable with no significant errors. unstable or testing: The unstable or testing trunk includes all addons that were previously available, but not tested or stable. There could be many reasons for this status. For example, the developers might have no hardware available to test the addon. To install one of these addons, some manual intervention is required. Below is a list of all addons. File Server The Samba addon offers a fast file server for Windows or heterogeneous networks. The NFS server offers the possibility to share files over the network. Mail Server The mail server IPFire uses is a mix of Cyrus-IMAPd, Postfix and Openmailadmin.
