There are a number of mail servers available for Windows, most being much less complex than Exchange, most small businesses not needing anything as complex as Exchange. But a business using MS servers will move to third-party products reluctantly. Everything on the machine that isn't part of the server operating system is a potential accident waiting to happen. The ecosystem is fragile enough, without foreign software being added. I would not consider installing even Firefox on a client's Windows server. -- Joe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
