SME Server 9.0 Beta 4 發布
SME Server（以前叫做e-smith）由Joseph和Kim Morrison成立于1999年一月。該公司于1999年四月引入了其旗艦軟件產品的第一個版本，e-smith server and gateway；至當年年底，已經有數千份e-smith servers運行在從斐濟到芬蘭的多個國家中。其口碑很快就流傳于開發人員及系統集成人員中，他們需要穩固、易用的服務器以面向小型企業的用戶群。在2001七月，e-smith被Mitel Networks收購，但之后被作為開放源碼產品按照GNU通用公共許可證釋出。2013五月，一個新的非盈利性組織被成立起來以管理SME server。出于版權問題的緣故它被改名為Koozali SME Server Inc。單詞Koozali與重生之意的Swahili近音。今后的版本將采用這個名字。該發行基于CentOS，目前完全由捐款來資助。
Ian Wells has announced the availability of the fourth and final beta release of SME Server 9.0, an upcoming new release of the project's CentOS-based specialist distribution for servers: "The

patches from SME Server 8 have been ported; the spare handling for RAID
arrays is not implemented; Workstation Backup has had many minor
changes; a new feature has been introduced to block SSH login attempts -
