Greetings. I replaced my nt server box with a pre-built llinux server which performs far better than ms products ever did. it emulated all my file shares, acted as mail web ftp server and a bunch more things like a group calendar and such as add on packages. the whole process took me less than half an hour to get running. I got the server from ftp.e-smith.org it is a pretty cool system and has encouraged me to start learning more about pearl so I can make changes to it that I want using their template system for generating config files. have been using this thing for more than a year now and am very happy with it.
