Ubuntu users in Ontario, Canada?

You are correct.  I'll have to look it all up again.  Maybe I got it 
wrong when I read it.  I was trying to convince the company I work for 
that we should offer Ubuntu as a product and my results were that 8.04 
was the only server product that was suggested for deployment in a 
production environment (maybe 6.06 was not considered production ready, 
more a RC of a production ready environment).

And yeah, Sendmail isn't fun, I do use Postfix and Courier and they are 
much easier to setup but I still think a more confusing concept then 
setting up LAMP.  :)

Cheers!
