THe scripts are nice, but you still need to edit the files. I plan to use the machine for primary DNS, Sendmail and POP3. I set up freebsd to do these things, and it seemed very similar. I do not need (at least now) the added hardware drivers. I do not want to return it if it is really the best product for me, but $945 vs $39 is alot of cash! Thanks for any help or ideas Richard Lazar rlazar@ix.netocm.com (should be richard@vancom.com, but that is another story!)
