My thoughts exactly. If they're techies then let them loose on the 
system, the code and the mail archives. The point of Free is what drives 
most people I deal with even though there is obviously some time and 
effort in configuring it and setting it up but thats common ground for 
any product you choose.

What are you using now for Monitoring ? If theyre already used to 
something nice warm and fuzzy then it might be harder and you might end 
up going down the 'recustomise it to look like the old system' road.

But yeah I think most people would agree that techies couldnt give a 
rats about slides and fancy crap, just does it work or not and how much :)
