I used to use Chilisoft in my linux server when moving away from IIS. I had no problems with it. That was about 3-4 years ago, so it must be even smoother today.
It is commercial software, but I assume it would be far easier than free equivalents. I would at least check their free trial version. http://www.sun.com/software/chilisoft/index.xml Petri -ray wrote: > > All, > > We have an IIS/Frontpage server here that a few faculty use.
