my windows-centric ex-boss was raving to me not long ago that he had just 
setup Windows Home server in his house. Talking about how it backs up all his 
PC automatically.. He was having fun playing with it. He knows nothing of 
Linux, and uses Outlook for email...... His company installs Red Hat ES 5.2 
and a special application, but they all use M$ Office, Outlook, and windows 
products. Beats me. I looked at Home Server, and it requires an install CD 
for every PC that will attach to it.
