I know that the two can be on separate boxes but one of the boxes is dual
boot and I want to keep as much as the stuff I will be backing up on one PC
so that I just tar.gz it and burn it to disk. I am not looking to get bogged
down managing where I put and store everything hence my love of apt-get and
all things simple.

I am also trying to keep my NT install as simple as I can to reduce the
inevitable hangs and bollix that it is going to send my way. I am afraid
that my time has run out for getting this set up and running and for the
next eight months I will be devoting most of my fsck with Linux time to
other less enjoyable tasks (learning c++, sorry nix and Relational Database
theory). If exim and UW-MAP is pi55 easy to install on a single box I will
give it a go, I cannot knock it until I have tried it now can I.
