[Win32-dev] Re: [JDEV] Servers

[Robert Thompson]

Scott,

I want to clarify that when I ask which version of RHAT to purchase, I mean
which one for *only* running the Jabber Server on the Net...right now, I
don't need it for anything else....I just want to get a Jabber Server
running on RHAT.

If I can just get the $29.95 Standard that'd be great...but I need the Pro
or Deluxe let me know.  I'm spending $5.5k on a server next week and I'm
pinching pennies right now.

Thanks,
Robert
