I don't see any reason to go with A unless you lack the technical expertise to do B. As for uploading & manageing "stuff" are you talking about web content, or something in addition? I would imagine that simple scp would be ideal for uploading static web pages. As for a mail server, use whatever you are most comfortable with. The bottom line is either you're technically comfortable with this project, or you're not. If your'e not, then you shouldn't risk your customer on possible mistakes. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lonni J Friedman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux Step-by-step & TyGeMo http://netllama.ipfox.com _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
