Re: [edlug] Stallman's talk
As far as I'm aware, e-smith has become 'Mitel SME Server'; I tried this
out some months ago on a spare p-III 500, wanting an alternative to
smoothwall/ipcop which would do a little more and give me something to
play with; whilst I greatly appreciate the efforts they've put into
their product, I don't think it's fully GPL any more, and imho, when I
used it, the interface was fairly hard to comprehend; there's a lot of
work still to be done to even vaguely offer an alternative to Windows
SBS Server, I think..
