Ensim? Run away, and run as fast as you can. The headaches aren't worth
the $99+ fee, and there is absolutely NO technical support beyond 30
days after your purchase the software - so if you buy it, install it
immediately....tech support beyond 30 days costs big $$$...and you have
to wait on Ensim for patches - you just can't run up2date on a RedHat
box - it will destroy ensim.......on top of all that, there isn't an
uninstall feature - ensim takes over your whole box, and you literally
have to do a complete OS restore to get rid of it (no fun if you are
500 miles from your co-lo)....I know from experience. Trust me, you
really don't want the headaches....or see for yourself at ensim's
"support" forums....
Recommendation: Plesk or H-Sphere (see plesk.com or psoft.net).
Just my $0.02........
