Have you looked into hosted email options? For just fifteen users that would be pretty cheap and would eliminate an entire workload from your servers that you have in house. Most hosted email offerings are about four dollars a month, so that would be sixty dollars a month and cover the software, hosting, support, storage and whatnot. Might be worth looking into that option now while doing a big refresh. That would potentially really change what you are looking at as your needs internally.

RE: Should I take the same money to go back to the same job?
@Joy said:
= I already asked them about it, They said same money, same responsibilities
Don't ask, tell. This is not for them to decide. They need you, you don't want them. You tell them what your numbers are and end it at that. Don't let them make any decision except to accept your offer or not. This is not something for you to let them control. The power is yours unless you give it up.

RE: Network backup

And I'm not talking about just a file level backup, I'm talking system level or block level.
LVM Snaps, RSnapShot, ZFS... lots of options on Linux.

RE: Password Security?
@Dashrender said:
Since you've already dismissed being sued by an employee for using their credentials, I guess the only other real harm is the potential, as @scottalanmiller said, people tend to use the same passwords all over the net.
It's far less being sued by the end users as being unable to prosecute them in case they do anything. They can point to the fact that their passwords were never their own and no action taken in their name was using their identity. It's a fundamental difference in how businesses typically operate but lots of SMBs choose the "anonymous" user route. Big companies typically have strong security and the end user's identity is their own. But it is not that uncommon for small shops to make the identify be one of ambiguity. It's not that they will sue you, but that you cannot sue them.

RE: Server4You Review
That is pretty crappy. That is how people use these systems these days. That seems to put a lot of extra constraints on this.

RE: New Evidence and Math Suggest that Big Bang Did Not Happen
Big Bang has had decades to be tweaked to make it look plausible. This theory is displacing it very quickly. It will look a lot more reasonable after they've had a decade to look for gaps, pound on it, test tweaks, etc. Not that it is right, but BB looks so reasonable because it has been massaged for a very long time and had tremendous propaganda to push it until people don't question it. This new theory is young, it will be full of mistakes, but as they look at it they will polish it up, I'm sure. At first "release" it is just about getting the basics right, then fixing little problems here and there as they figure out where things aren't quite right.
