Not pricey at all for schools, although depends how many users. Haven't got latest education prices to hand, but about £500-£600 for 100 (concurrent) user licences including one year maintenance and installation support, and the Web-GUI is brilliant.

We use a company called Precedence Technologies who have an excellent webmail system based around a Unix server but accessible through any browser anywhere in the world. www.precedence.co.uk/ George Harris > Hi all: > > I am currently running a managed server from the school (not at the > school) as > part of the school's business and enterprise status.

Roger now works for for an ibm associated company. I met him on the IBM stand the Linux show at Olympia. He did hope that the list had not died since he left SuSE. He did not fancy the house move required for the new location where Novells head offices are. So he has now found new hunting grounds and appeared to be enjoying it.

Hi all: I am currently running a managed server from the school (not at the school) as part of the school's business and enterprise status. The site is based with Easyspace but I need more storage as I am thinking about doing my e-mail on the server as well. With 750 students plus staff I would need 10-15GB of free space and the Easyspace device is only 4GB of which nearly 2 is the OS. I would like to use a UK company but they seem really expensive in comparison to what must be yanqui ones. Has anyone any experience they can share? Paul -- De omnibus dubitandum

Thanks for the response guys I will take a closer look at your suggestions. I have not seen any activity here for quite some time and the eerie silence was beginning to worry me. Is Roger still maintaining this list? -- De omnibus dubitandum
