About SME Server

SME stands for small to medium enterprise, which betrays its intended purpose. It has been a pretty popular option in this market since the distribution was launched in 1999, then under the name of e-smith. Since then, it has gained a reputation as a reliable and easy-to-use distribution especially for small businesses looking to host an email server or similar purposes.
