I don't know a step by step per se. But you easily select to install an SMTP server during the installation of Mandrake, or install one later. I use Postfix for SMTP server and Qpopper for POP3 server.
You can find guides to configure each on the web, get a free dynamic dns service (dyndns.org is my favorite ) to do DNS for the domain you can get for free from them or for a domain you own. Besides that, if you have a shared IP (NAT )for your home network, you will need to map port 25 SMTP and port 110 POP3 to your internal server.
Sorry this isn't step by step or complete, but it should get you started. Google, linuxquestions.org, and tldp.org are your friends.:)
I gotta say, I love Mandrake for my workstation, though I will be keeping Redhat on my servers. The cool thing is that I can use my workstation to backup my servers ( mail,dns, etc ) while I upgrade them from RH7.2 to RH9.0.

Except I chrooted my Apache server so that it can't see anything outside of its own directory...so you the most you will do is delete the web site. But wait, the Apache server was running as a user who doesn't have anything but read access. Damn, looks like the only things you could do is mirror my web site.
You obviously never users Mandrake's package manager. OpenOffice is preinstalled with Mandrake 9.x, but let's assume that it wasn't.
Click on start->Configuratioo->install software
Type in "openoffice" and click on search Click on "openoffice" in the search results window Click on install Wait until it says installation is completed.
Now use OpenOffice. When you are done, go have dinner at an expensive restaurant with all the money you just saved by not buying MS Office XP. Heck, bring your family too, the saving will cover all of them.
Congratulations! Usually it's hard for businesses to see the benefit of migrating from their "normal" OS to the "mysterious" Linux OS. How did you make them see the light? Did you have to handle retraining the end users to use Linux? How did you accomplish this? How about your IT staff, did they quickly get upto speed on Linux or did you have to rotate Windows people out and bring in employees with a 'nix background. Excuse me for so many questions, but I am sure there are more people out there who would like to get some ideas on how to migrate their company over to Linux from Windows.
Hmm, I was pretty hardcore in 2000-2001, after using Windows from version 1.0 up to 2000, getting my MCSE, and getting a job as a full-time Windows network administrator. But, in 2002 I started looking at other OS's, longing for something that gave me more control, more stability, wasn't so insecure, and didn't require so many patches to remain "current". Anyhow, played with FreeBSD first, loved everything except for the lack of hardware support, so I played with Linux( running it in VMWare for a few months ), and by September of 2002 I was ready to make the switch.
It does take time to get used to, but the stability, freedom, and the sheer number of applications out there hooked me big time. I have come to the conclusion that asking someone to spend at least as much time learning Linux as they did learning Windows before judging if it is the OS for them or not. I was dual-booting a lot for games until a few weeks ago, and now I even got that problem solved. So, put some effort into it, don't try making it your main box right away as you will probably get frustrated and give up. Instead, do dual boot, virtual machine, or a cheap separate computer to experiment and learn on. Need help? Web sites like linuxquestions.org and tldp.org have answers to most questions, I haven't been impressed with linux books, but the "man" command ( get it? "the man" ) command has gotten me quick help when I was in a bind.
I hope this helps put things into perspective a bit.
Not me, I barely use Windows for that now that I have WineX working pretty darn good. Rebooting to play a game for 30 minutes was pretty irritating, and I don't miss it at all.
...that I could pay to be a beta tester. What? $15/month? $12/month if I subscribe for a year? Sure! I will pay for the honor of helping you guys find all the bugs in your software because I because I am a Star Wars fanboi!!!
I haven't read the article, but I want to plug that I used Netflix for about a year and really liked their service. They bent over backwards in several cases to make sure I was a satisfied customer. I stopped using them when I had pretty much seen every movie I wanted too. Most likely I will sign up with them again in the near future.
Oh, and not having to return movies by a certain date was a godsend for me. I have a busy schedule and would often be out of town on short notice business call when a movie was due, and pay out the yin-yang for past due fees. With Netflix I never had to worry about that. Three cheers for innovation!
Whoa there doggy, OpenOffice is nice, but there are a multitude of other options out there ( StarOffice, for one ),
Financial - Moneydance, GNUCash, and there are a few others. GIMP - I can't speak to that, not being one who does graphical work.
I switched to Linux after running it in a VMWare virtual machine for a few months. I still have my workstation dual-boot with Windows XP just in case I need it. But then I haven't booted into Windows in a month and a half, and that was only while I was installing it ( for the 'just in case' scenario ).
Anyhow, geek inside of me is what brought me to try out Linux. The stability,freedom, and choice of Linux are what made me stay. Just remember how long it took you to learn Windows, and then give Linux at least that much time before you toss it aside.
For comparisons sake, I used Windows first back in 1990, and got very good with it by 1994. I have almost used Linux for a year and I already feel comforable with it.
Ok, two points. First, I don't think of Blizzard when I see a name ending with "craft". Instead, I think of the war as the "art of" or "way of" doing/working with something. Like "Stonecraft" would mean the way to work with stone (stonemasonry is the proper term, I think ), but I hope you see what I mean. Another way to interpret it would be "a craft for traveling through a medium", with the medium specified in the first part of the word, such as "watercraft", "spacecraft", etc.
Second point, it looks fairly obvious why the project was named "freecraft". It was to denote that this was an opensource (free) version of WarCraft, but you can't just copy someone's idea verbatim without at least asking for permission or giving them credit. Well, I am talking about my personal criteria, anyhow. On the other hand, I think it's wrong to prevent people who want to make an improved version of an old (read "dead" ) project of yours on their own. Especially if they were courteous enough to ask. Like, "it looks like you arent' working on this anymore, can I pick up where you left off?".
Now, if they had called their program "FreeCraft" and the name made some kind of sense, like being about freeing people from captivity, for example, then I could see where Blizzard's argument wouldn't hold any water.
Witch Covens around the world are in a state of confusion after receiving threating "Cease and Desist" letters from Blizzard's lawyers for their product known as "WitchCraft"(c) which may be confused with "StarCraft"(c) or "WarCraft"(c).
When a coven leader was asked how they planned to respond to the threat, she replied "We are split between a rare disease and swarms of insects, though a natural disaster at Blizzard headquarters is not out of the question. Oh, the lawyers won't be a problem, they work for for the same guy (putting hands to each side of her head to make a symbol of horns ) we do."
In other news, Blizzard's CEO mysteriously hired a n exorcist to make a house call. More details at 11.
Judge: It says here on my copy of the case briefing that this is all about Eunuchs? You mean you are chopping off their fireman and then selling them to people?

With friggin' lasers attached to their heads?
Sort of, we couldn't afford the deadly, steel welding lasers, but the laser pointers we took from the conference room look real menancing taped to their heads.
Actually, it doesn't matter if you are using the copy of the game that you purchased or downloaded, nocd cracks usually increase game performance by removing the overhead of Safedisk and its kin. I was suprised when I read about the in PC Gamer magazine. The review of Morrowind included a short spiel on how that game was very sluggish until the nocd crack for it has been installed.
I had a problem with Warcraft 3 running under Winex. After installing the nocd crack, everything worked, even battenet.
There are standards and then there are "de-facto" standards. An Internet standard is an open, well-documented set of criteria that coders can code against create a standards compliant app. The reason for this is to ensure that any application that is compliant with the standard will give the same result as any other application coded to the same standard.
A "de-facto" standard is an implementation ( way of doing something ) that has become to be an expected feature of an application in a particular market only because it is popular. The problem with this is that not everyone may implement it in the exact same way, cause unpredictable results, and in the end making the application user's experience "worse."
Anyhow, I stopped using Internet Exploder a year or so ago because Mozilla's way outclassed it as far as feature sets go ( popup blocker, tabbed browser interface, cookie management, and more ) that weren't standards at the time, but other browsers have caught on this is something we want more than features such as "mouse gestures"( which seems to be a dead idea at the moment ).
Hopefully that clears things up for you as far as standards go. As far as your other comments ( linux is irrelevant, XServer sucks, etc. First, you aren't talking about Linux as it includes only the kernel. Second, I can tell you really haven't used XServer as mine runs for months at time and actually has only stopped running if 1) I lost power. 2) I manually shut it down. 3)...wait there is no 3.:)
