The Sambar server is pretty nice. I ran it for a while before I switched most of my services to Freebsd. Of course, Sambar has this horrible problem that it is closed source and is authored by one person (last I checked). No plugins either. > He's so totally thrilled with Apache, in fact, that he's > interested in the Apache James server.

I haven't even heard of James. I think your friend should really look into running separate services under Linux in the long run. Of course, if all he needs is simple stuff, maybe James would cut it. I've been looking at RHSD (http://rhems.sourceforge.net/rhems.htm) here and there, but haven't tried it yet (it is Redhat only). This could be another solution. > Say "Thank you". :) "Thank you" Mark _______________________________________________ RLUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.rlug.org/mailman/listinfo/rlug
