[CLUE-Talk] [Fwd: The Challenge...]

[Nicholas Perez]

I would be very interested in working on this. But we would of course get
debian stable(non-commercial) on that linux system and show him maintence
with debian is superior(apt-get dist-upgrade.) Now is this intranet also
connected to the internet? someone would need to write a firewall for that
system (Egad i just read an NT server is doing that). Filesharing and
printsharing with samba is no sweat since it sounds like there is no PDC
involved. And CUPS should handle the printing. as for the ODBC I am not
sure, but i could do all the previous stuff
