No, not unless you can get the whole thing on CD :)


If it's on CD I might be able to do something with it but most times 
you turn up and find that the vital application or whatever is 
missing or not there.  At least with SuSE you just drop the CD in and 
30 minutes later it works.

This may help..

I'm supposing that you will fetch mail from an ISP that you use ?  
Other than that you have to configure a zone file and DNS. Such as, 
MX, A, CNAME records


Thanks
