thanks for that reminder.
It still doesn't change the fact that the Linux world hasn't even come
close to the neat little package that is SBS.

there are plenty of negatives to SBS as well, the fact that it's only
allowed 75 client to attach to it and if you go over that number the
damn server is designed to _reboot_ and place a nice little message in
your event log to say "hey you need to pay us more money or I'm going
to keep rebooting every 60 minutes!". If that's not extortion I don't
know what is.

By no means do I believe that SBS is a better product than what you
can eventually do with linux, but it is an out of box solution that
linux doesn't yet cover as well as MS SBS server.
