Easier for what? What is it they want the machine to do? In eitther case, a server should have someone reading the logs and ensure that routine maintenance is performed regularly and successfully. I strongly recommend my clients get a "computer guy" on contract for a couple of hours of routine work per month, and on-call service. I've installed Linux boxes at a couple of client sites that serve as their windows files shares, print server, database server, in-house intranet, and also offer me secure remote access into their network, backup capabilities, remote troubleshooting, etc. Either package can do that. SBS is a bundle of software along with Windows Server, but you don't mention if they are going to use any of that. You mention PostgreSQL or MySQL, so you're not using the SQL Server portion. Exchange is more trouble than its worth, imo. So why use SBS? -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
