Just for the record: I just came from a meeting with the possible
contractor, and the scenario is much 'lighter' than I advertised: this
box will be _part_ of the email system, so it will handle a much smaller
fraction of mail accounts.
Anyway, I guess this thread is OT now since I should get more info about
WhiteBoxLinux, TaoLinux, centOS etc.
Thks to all who replied.
Best,
Andre
