Hey Ricard; Thanxs for the very polite reply. Well I was referring to 2.1 which has been out for almost a month now. It is a good product and seems very solid to me. YMMV of course. I agree that 2.0 was less than stellar, but the "clark" staff also was quick to point out that it was an interim, sorta test release. I think ALL distributions have some releases that are less than others. Not sure about the Nessus "tests" per say, so I have no reason to doubt what you say. > > It shows great great thought, great APT updater, brilliantly designed > commerce interface and re-billing, good conceptual awareness of how it > should work.

Well intelligent people speaking intelligently can disagree with this. I don't have a problem in this area per say, but I can definitely see what you are referring to. Samba works fine here with clark-connect, including permissions, so I guess I am not sure what you are referring to on that particular item. I also host domains with it and find it essentially fine, no problemos. > > I'm not here to knock anyone but please don't compare it to SME, SME is > an engineered product that is a SUV compared to ClarkConnects small > family sports hatchback. Both well thought out but you're not comparing > apples and apples. Well Mitel's proprietary product is very good. SME is good too, but a lesser product in many respects. AS such, I was comparing to it; well sorta comparing it SME specifically by saying it was "similar". For many folks it is all the similarity they need or want and then becomes VERY similar. Perhaps I should have been more specific. Thanxs for the heads up. Hey and thanxs Richard for not lambasting me for having an opinion that is not exactly as yours. Nice to see that on this list for a change.
