Windows 2000
Some first info from a magazine on
memory and disk requirements:
|
NT4 with SP3 |
Windows 2000 |
System memory (RAM) in
use after bootup
|
19 MByte
|
39 MByte
|
disk usage for the
installation of the OS |

If you are familiar with Windows95/98 and with
WindowsNT4, you should have
no problem using Windows2000, since the functionality is very
similar, except:
You might have problems to locate the
functionality, since most of the windows
for
configuration have been moved around to different locations.
Do you manage your own Mail-Server ?
Is your Mail-Server protected against virus-attacks ?
Try the new Freeware version of
GFI MailSecurity :

The freeware version basically allows administrators to
scan all their mail for viruses at no cost!
If they want other security features and multiple virus
engines, then that would require purchasing a license.
Even if they already have antivirus installed, another
anti virus engine on their email server will just double
up
their security at no cost.
The full release about the freeware version is available
at : http://www.gfi.com/news/en/msec8freeware.htm.
