[TriLUG] Network file system.

[Ben Simpson]

I am working on some installation instructions for Debian 3.0  Just because
I have it installed.

I am trying to write it for those people that would like to replace windows
2k with linux alternatives.

for example....
Debian linux 3.0 w/Samba file services.
PostgreSQL to replace Microsoft SQL 2000
Sendmail to replace Exchange 2000
Apache to replace IIS5
Webmin to replace Web Based Administration
LDAP to replace AD

I would like to duplicate all the parts of windows 2000 using free software
and linux.


I am writing it on a linux machine and would like to know what document
format most people use? (other than .doc)  Kword? Abiword?
