I have been using SuSE/SUSE on the desktop since 8.2 and am tempted to run SUSE on the new server. We have 95% IBM hardware - so I would like to buy IBM, with this in mind I have my eye on xSeries rack-mountable.
1. Has anybody got any advice on which model I should go for (budget of GBP 2000 ex VAT)?
2. Has anybody got any advice on which version of SUSE would be most appropriate?
Since nobody mentioned it yet.. SuSE has or had a MailServer product. You may want to check that out. I think it was supposed to be an exchange replacement.
Found it- http://www.suse.com/us/business/products/openexchange/
Cheers- Jim
And the company that makes that product (http://mirror.open-xchange.org/ox/EN/product/) announced the GPL version of it. There is an unstable first release available, version 0.7.0. Stan
