| SME Server（最初叫作e-smith）由Joseph和Kim
Morrison创立于1999年1月。同年4月公司推出了他们旗舰软件产品的首个版本——e-smith服务器及网关。到年底时，已经有数千的e-
smith服务器运行在从斐济到芬兰的各个国家。关于e-smith的消息很快地流传在开发人员和系统集成人员中，而他们需要的正是面向小型企业用户的牢
固易用的服务器。2001年7月，e-smith公司被Mitel
Networks收购，2004年9月又被Lycoris收购，并且该项目目前还得到了Resource Strategies公司的赞助。 Ian Wells has announced the availability of the fifth beta release of SME Server 8.0, a CentOS-based server distribution: "The SME Server development team is pleased to announce the release of SME Server 8.0beta5 which is based on CentOS 5.4 and will be the next major release of SME Server. Major changes in beta 5. The policy is to stick with upstream updates unless there are compelling reasons not to. The number of customers unable to run the software they want because of the Samba and PHP versions constituted a compelling reason. Samba 3.4.3 - has been updated from sources provided by ClearOS. This version of Samba provides support for Windows 7 domain logins. PHP 5.2.10 - is provided by the Red Hat Application Stack v2. 5.2 is needed by recent web applications such as OScommerce."
