I have recently subscribe to this list and I would like to have some 
preliminary advice before I install debian 1.3.1

My knowlegde of Unix and Linux is scant: some user experience with HP-UX.
At present I am running W95 and appplications on a 486, 16 MB. I have a dial-up 
connection to the ISP server and am about to install the Debian Linux 1.3.1.
I have a domain on a virtual server with POP3 boxes and unlimited aliases, etc. 
 

My purpose is to set up a small *intranet*, with about 2-3 machines to start 
with, to offer email and web-browsing facilities to multiple users.
Which means multiple email accounts etc.

My main querry is how to go about it:
- which e-mail software, 
- which web- and proxyserver to use 
- Can one have a Linux server and W95 pc's as clients.
- As such, is there a way that multiple users could *download* their mail from 
the local Linux server into W95? Which mail package to use for that?
- Else should one leave Windoze for what it is and work only with Linux 
packages. Which email-packages under Linux are most user-friendly?

My immediate aim is to install that which will serve my purpose and save as 
much precious time on un- and re-installing different applications.   

Thanks for reading this far. :-)
Appreciating your feedback.
