Server's are what Linux do best, IMO a whole lot better than anything that has NT on the box... > We need 'Office', 'Corel', 'Internet', 'E-mail', 'Publisher'. I currently run RedHat 8.? which does all of this, greater or lesser degree. OpenOffice (Word, Excel, Access, and a Powerpoint) Mozilla (Web Browser, like netscape) Ximian Evolution (Outlook, which I'm currently writing this email with) IPTables (Firewall, and NAT...thing....) Qanta (Html editor, IMO very nice) Corel, I assume is a graphics, and drawing package, and as I've never been heavy duty into graphics, cant help you here... perhaps www.adobe.com can...? (Wine? Just a thought...) Publisher, Here's an interesting one... I cheat! I use an HTML editor, and PRINT the result. I find it a little more poking around than most people are interested in, but works just the same/better than a WYSIWYG microsoft publication tool... > > I want to put a small network together to show the staff. > > Any suggestions would be great. > > Cheers > > Terry Cole > Rotorua, New Zealand > mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://www.cole.gen.nz > http://www.websnz.com > > > >
