I have 68k Macs, PPC Macs, and assorted x86 boxes available. As well as 
OS versions of all sorts to run on the above. And as for the cost of my 
time, alas, the projects this server is for, yes, I have to consider my 
time free... because it is the only thing I have available to contribute 
to it (I have ZERO available dollars for it, if I was forced to spend 
money, I'd have to shut the server off and be done with it).

I actually don't mind SIMS' multiple domain support. It only takes a 
moment to explain to users how to configure their email to deal with it 
(they always get confused when I first tell them they have a prefix that 
needs to be added to their username for collecting their email... but 
once I explain that the logon username and the email address don't have 
to be the same thing, they are always fine with it).

I just need to do multiple domains, so whatever I move to has to have 
some kind of support for it. SIMS' style is acceptable to me.

I haven't yet installed my copy of Panther Server for lack of an 
available G3 just yet. I'll mark one 'nay' towards it. If I don't get any 
postive reports, then I won't worry about getting a broken iMac I have 
available running.

If it wasn't for the desire for content filtering, I would NOT be leaving 
SIMS. It isn't a cost issue on the replacment drive, I have those 
available already. And certainly replacing the drive will be much faster 
and easier then moving to a different server. But that won't solve the 
content filter issue that I am after.
