"The Open Source community's answer is to ignore Microsoft's incredible technological lead - because it is proprietary and not a standard - and instead focusses on their own cool thing and self-gratifying cool features, because they think they can do better (which is where the ignorance combined with ego comes in)."

<quote>I agree with everything you say up to the Application serving part.</quote>
It all depends on the application you are serving. Some are best served by Solaris or AIX or Linux or NT. It all depends heavily on the application.
</quote>Email can be handled by ANY platform really. Due to security and up time issues I prefer to host email on Netware or Linux. Although Netware is much better in terms of security, Linux has all the great and free security/ antispam tools. </quote>
Once again, it all depends so heavily on what you need. I have seen Notes servers running on linux, Solaris, NT2000 and AIX. For Exchange there is NT2000. Groupwise the great ignored option of course I say stick with Novell complete solution. As you were saying it all depends so much on what you need and what you got and your circumstances.
