We use MS Win2K Server & WS. They have been good for our needs but my increasing paranoia have sent me to the UNIX world for a possible FreeBSD server w/Samba handling our MS WS applications. I now have some hands on in both worlds and now know why *nix oriented support REKs typically pay better than MS ones. I have been lurking in "newbies" and "mobile" and see the amount of cooperation and problem solving capability as comfort (as I try to move forward) and testimony to how "bright" and experienced the contributors are. My hat is off to you all and I hope I have enough spare time, patience and capability to learn this OS.
