I would love to see a Linux "Server" package, 

	NFS to share disks
	SQL server with support for ODBC
	POP mail.
	A cool Netware like admin shell..

If anyone is working on a free SQL server, I would love
to help (I would like to learn to write a ODBC driver...
have to start somewhere...)

I like the fact that there are so many options... I would hate
to see a one OS, one lang, one system world.

I saw a system with linux, win3, os/2 and chicago as boot options.
