What frustrates me is, if the plugin (any plugin) cost something like 5$ per license, I would have on-sold 10,000 of them by now. As it is, I have on-sold 0.
Why???
Because SME's can't afford to pay the same as exchange while claiming it is a "Linux server" so it is better, but it loses most of the features of exchange.
When these people realise this, they will take over the world.
Just today, I had to turn down an server install and the admin will put in exchane for this very reason.
I repeat, I could have installed thousands of these in 10-100 user businesses in New Zealand by now.

SSH or IPSec?

Works like a charm, setup is a breeze, just need port 5000 (or whatever u choose) open on the firewall from authorised clients. We use tightVNC and ssh and webmin etc over the link.
I seem to remember trying this once: use a redirector in squid and point customers to the local version on your website a la http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-15.html
Seems basic to me
Is not IRM something to look into and if it has the basics, to develop it further. I have looked at it and you could track software installed, although it needs humans entering the data.
Having said that, you could write an update script to update on installation of any new software. irm.schoenefeld.org
Not a non-profit org but in a primary school. I set up a Linux server and 20 w/stations. All mounting home and usr from the server but running the rest locally. All these teachers (and pupils) had NOT used computers much before if at all. They now use staroffice (I know), for just about anything, e-mail, web, spreadsheets etc. They take the files home, use them on M$ stuff and bring them back - no worries. This system has been running for a year. I have been on site 3 times in that year and dialed in 2 times. Uptimes of over 150 days. 2 of the teachers have purchased Linux computers for home as it was so easy to use. Bla bla bla etc etc.
The point is, it can and is being done. BTW I do this for a job in New Zealand and it's only getting busier. I'm beating M$ based companies out of servers in most of the local schools.
