Bah, we are talking about different market here. I was raising concerns that *real* sysadms have. I don't know any sysadm who, free to choose his server operating system, would choose windosh. If only for the frequency rate of those security holes and having to wait for them to patch it. If you want James to be good-enough for the ASF (even if it doesn't get into production), forget your windows user base and target the real heavy duty servers. They will also help you create a community of *serious* email users, which probably have 0.1% of the market, but handle 90% of the email of the planet. Don't forget that Microsoft owns HotMail but it still runs on FreeBSD machines. [I even heard that they recompiled httpd to show an ISS as the headers but people doing TCP/IP stack analysis showed they were not using the windows TCP/IP stack, but FreeBSD's, but maybe it's a rumor, I can't prove this] -- Stefano. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
