Wow, talk about being rude. Such a box may very well "work like a champ"
when you are running Exchange 5.5. I am running Exchange 2003 on Windows
2003.

If I have to use separate hard drives to optimize a server, in my humble
opinion, this is a serious flaw. A good product should work fine with
one drive.

This is yet another comparison of apples and oranges, since you have
Exchange 5.5 and probably an older version of IIS as well.

I still recommend giving Open Exchange from SuSE. Novell also still has
GroupWise.
