It seems to be that GNOME and KDE are pretty bloated. Try Windowmaker or something else. With Linux, you always have plenty of options.

Isn't the EV700 a monitor? I am looking at an EV700 monitor as I write this.

I think these are the two best cards out there. ATI support is good. I haven't had as much experience with Nvidia.

SuSE has good manuals. But it installs with a lot of stuff you may not need. I was trying to set up a Sendmail box, for example, and got stuck with all this multimedia stuff that I didn't need. I've definitely become a Debian fan, too. But the install can be tricky the first time. It also takes...

Quite a few e-mail hosting companies do virus scanning of messages for their customers. If your e-mail hosting company isn't doing this, get one that does. Your best strategy is to bring your e-mail in-house though. I am in the process of doing that right now in our organization. It will save...

For on-line scans, there is also: housecall.trendmicro.com

Etrust is made by Computer Associates. Everything they do is junk. Support is non-existent. I don't like Norton because I have had a Norton virus scanner that would not let me send e-mail to my Toastmasters club because it was "too many recipients." I have also had bad rescue disks. Norton also...

Yes, make sure it is an actual hardware modem. If the modem was under $50, it's a safe bet that it is some junkie winmodem or worse.

Why in the world are you giving up Mercury Mail for Exchange?

This is pretty typical of the kind of "help" you will get from Computer Associates.

The latest version of Black Ice also does a good job keeping spyware out. But it often asks you to okay any program you want to run.

It all depends on the size of your backup. If it's not that big, try Jaz drives. We haven't had much trouble with DDS here.

I'm partial to putting a tape in every machine. It requires a little more work on the part of the admin, but seems more reliable and trustworthy.

Maybe you could try Jaz disks or DVD's. Travan drives are junk and SLOW.

That's an interesting question. Is there a CD burner for DOS? You could set up a batch file to do an XCOPY or COPY to a second hard drive. A lot of people (ourselves included) just leave their voice mail-boxes to chance. Ours is running OS2 by the way.

Are you using one of those Linux versions that you can buy at Best Buy or CompUSA? It's probably not meant to be used on a monster machine like this one. Get a "server" version and see what happens. You have obviously spent a lot of money--I hope it's worthwhile.

What "service to workstations" is slow? You might want to be more specific about that. Considering the money you put into some of the other hardware components, the memory is kind of low. It depends on what you are doing, of course.

I'm guessing that Windows 2003 server doesn't like other firewalls. What exactly do you want to protect on the server? And from what? If you want to protect it from the Net, get a separate box for your own firewall. I use a Linux-based distribution from Mandrake, Mandrake Multi Network...

You can also try the Mandrake Multi-network Firewall. I like what I have seen of it. http://www.mandrakesoft.com/products/mnf I also know people who like the floppy-based firewall, Coyote Linux: http://www.coyotelinux.com

AV1611, You could get a fireproof safe and put the tapes in there.
