Re: MS Exchange to Redhat Linux Migration

Thanks a lot for the prompt reply.

BTW, I still need to have some insights of the following.
1. What is the major diffeerence between the following 
(Redhat, Mandrake & Caldera)?
2. Can I use any of the following as a mail server, web 
server, proxy server, file server...? Or redhat as server 
& mandrake or caldera as ws.
3. We are planning to make a server running that would be 
a mail server, file server, web server ... all in one or 
two. Any suggestion please.
4. If i am going to use redhat, what are the 
apps/utils/etc should be best to install to serve the 
above services.
5. How ease it would be to import the current mailbox to 
linux (mailbox)? Please provide short instruction.

For info, I can say that all of our clients are still 
using Microsoft OS (95, 98, 2000 ...) with Maximo CMMS 
installed. We are just having hard time dealing with our 
current e-mail system which is MS Exchange. That is why we 
plan to migrate into Linux.

Again, thank you very much again in advance.
