Thank you for the responses. I think I will just set a server up and 
start working with it. I'm hoping to be able to get something up running 
and ready to drop in place. That way when I slip in that its open source 
there will be less to argue about. Unfortunately I still need the 
blessing of my boss and he is pretty in love with MS. I've got a few 
other things up my sleeve that will help, so I think it will be a pretty 
easy sell in the end. I hope anyway.

Thanks again.
Matt
