[TriLUG] lightweight linux distro/pc giveaway

[Jim Ray]

Gentoo is too tough for my little ole pea brain.  If I go that route, me
thinks I'll seek your services on loading it :-)

On that note, any chance of getting you to load an email server for me?
I've got 7 employees and need a local server that will do POP3 on the LAN as
well as IMAP plus do that little smart host thingie for SMTP so I don't have
to authenticate with anything off the LAN.

Regards,
 
Jim
