I don't think it's Ubuntu's core focus, but then Ubuntu has proven that it can do ANYTHING we put our minds to :-) Servers like e-smith (SME server) are so very close, but I believe they lack the dynamic energy and drive that Ubuntu has (plus it's not Debian based ;-) ). -- Ubuntu Breezy 5.10 CNet <a href="http://News.com">News.com</a>: So that would be the philosophical difference between Microsoft and what Google is up to at this point?

Working for an SME, we have no IT department where we can got o for help when something breaks down. We gotta fix it ourselves. Same thing with integration of our IT stuff it is very difficult and confusing if you have no background on this stuff. Charles
