Picked up a new client yesterday.  The previous tech had been an owner's son who'd graduated college and moved out of town.  The office manager looked a little anxious as she told me they had a "Linux server" but relaxed as I assured her I'm comfortable with Linux.  I didn't dare to hope but yes indeed, in the comms closet was an old but still functional machine running SME Server 7.3!  w00t!

Some one made a good choice in the past then... makes live easy indeed.
Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than its worth ~ Baz Luhrmann - Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)
