While I'm not going to say that a linux server would definitely meet your needs better than something windows based, I will say that if anyone is looking to try that out, there is a very nice package out there called ClarkConnect... http://www.clarkconnect.com/ It is a version of CentOS (which is based off of Redhat Enterprise Linux), that has a very nice browser based interface for managing a packaged set of programs. If you have an old machine and a couple of NICs sitting around, it is definitely worth a spin. I have it working as my firewall/gateway/file server/backup server/proxy-content filter/vpn (also has mail, http, ftp, etc...and you could probably install BD or MX on it!) -- Jim Wright Wright Business Solutions [EMAIL PROTECTED] 919-417-2257 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:243262 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
