Anyway - don't put too much faith in Lotus' ability to surpass MS pitfalls - the memory leaks could very well be Lotus' fault - whether by oversight in the way MS uses resources, or improper configuration of Lotus on MS - doesn't much matter. Oh yeah, and if you have to run Crystal Reports 8 - ugh - that'll crash both. >on Linux since there's not a Notes client for X yet (actually, it does >run under WINE, but sorta unstable).

Speaking with my Notes Admin hat - whyyyyyyy do you have end users/illiterate users touching the admin console!????? Again - I guess I don't understand why you need to have a client on the server - realistically you *shouldn't* be installing the client on the server on any platform with R5, but that's another story. Other than agents that need to run as server (which you can schedule) most everything that needs to be done *should* be able to be done remotely from any box on the network, other than admin console work which still can mostly be done remotely from the admin client.
