This off the subject of grammar and spelling.....

I was consider starting a company that specialized in replacing MS servers
with Samba server.

Anyone have any thought on the need and the risk. With Microsoft's new
licensing scheme the cost saving should be pretty apparent.

I have also wanted to do this, but having owned a few failed businesses
before,
I know I am not capable of all the things necessary to run my own
business. But would
make a capable partner. Partnerships though are an entirely different
problem.
