Hi,

On this topic, Would it be benefical to install the Plesk interface on a RAQ
or would it be best to utilize a pure Linux 'flavor' (Redhat, Madrake, etc.)
and then add on Plesk or an Ensim type product?

Is there a way to automate the account creation and management without these
such "applications"?

Bruce
