I dont know about NGOs but a CDAC training centre I know is trying to make the switch from Windoze servers to Linux servers. The problem is that the sys-admin there has zero knowledge about big professionally built servers. I dont claim to know either but using some "free proxy" on Win XP Pro speaks little of their tech know how. Internet "sharing" can be easily achieved using RRaS in M$ Win servers... -- Regards, Dinesh A. Joshi -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
