For SBS, use the C/S/M for SMB suite. Every version, the intetegration gets
better. There is a new version on the horizon, and the integration is
looking *very* good ;-).
I'm guessing ot many would elect to put an Apache server on their SBS.
Probably no biggie, so long as you know Apache ;-). But with IIS already
there, it's a no-brainer to go that route wherever possible.
