I am a student studying computers and as a project I am interested in setting up a mailserver with dial-in access(PPP or SLIP). The mail volume would be low. I would also like to have the option of upgrading it in the future to perhaps a news or Web server. What software would be the best to use considering that my budget is small. Somebody mentioned that I should install a Unix clone such as Linux or FreeBSD. Does anybody have experience of using these? Personally I would like to use a dos/windows based system. Piero Tintori
