I work for a LARGE bank with about twice as many email users as you require and we use Lotus Notes with pretty good results. I understand there will be a port to linux, if it doesn't already exist. Regardless of the platform, you will need multiple Notes servers that will replicate with one another. The last company I worked for also used Lotus Notes and ran the servers on OS/2. I am not a Notes admin, so I don't know what platform we use.
Notes supports encryption and has dial-up connectivity for mobile users. You can use IP, SPX, and I believe a few other protocols. The client side is thin enough to run even on fairly weak machines, 16 or 32 bit.
Pavlicek make the greatest analogy saying people may think of the Linux industry about the Linux community: "now that a plant has leaves and berries, we can simply cut off those gnarled, unattractive roots." As he points out - that would be suicide. Linux grows only because of the community that feeds the market by producing code that adapts to the needs of those using Linux.
Of course AOL is doing this to save the price of PAYING for the domain, which they should be forced to do. Problem is they can keep Emanuelle in court a lot longer than she can afford to stay there.
A friend of mine had his domain taken away by Internic. Internic (now Network Solutions) stated they will obey a court order, even from another country (in that case France), and transfer the site without consent from the current owner. Then the former owner has to fight it out in court. So all AOL has to do is muck up some argument and get any judge to rule for them, which can't be too hard.
My advice to Emanuelle - try to get a good lawyer to take her case on contingency and make AOL pay a few million for the domain. Then put up her site under aaolsearch.com
I agree. A few mainstream news sources -- CNN, etc -- have recently explained the labels "hacker" and "cracker" correctly.

yeah, that caught my eye too. however, it's not like this is the only distribution. managers (an it professionals, for that matter) restrict user access so they can't screw up the system. imagine the end-user who reads a little and plays around on your production system...
KDE -- here, awesome and free -- is my best choice especially when I have nothing close to compare. After using -and loving- KDE, I don't really care when or if GNOME is available. Probly will try it tho.

Good luck

Terrific point of view.
