I'm moving to SBS 2003?

I know I've been selling this solution for a while to small businesses, so it's time I started considering moving to SBS 2003 myself. I'm probably going to wait until SBS 2003 R2 becomes available, hopefully in the Action Pack. It will replace my current Linux Server running Debian Sarge with Samba 3 which acts as a PDC (Primary Domain Controller), so I do domain logons from my laptop running Windows XP Pro. Well, the Linux Server will become a member server of the new SBS 2003 Domain. I will also migrate to using CRM 3.0 SBE (Small Business Ed) from Outlook Business Contact Manager, which I currently use.

I do have a SBS 2003 server which is used as a test server but I also have a test facility at a partner company called CubeRoot in Central Leicester, where we run a SunFire v20z AMD 64 server running SUSE Linux Enterprise Server v9 and VMWare Server, so we can configure different OSes.

If you want to have a play let me know!
