| + | "...Careful consideration at development level allows ordinary, and lazy, users to throw in an e-smith and be confident that it will work just like it says on the tin. |

| + | That is no mean feat and something that has been happening for a long time here. It takes huge effort to maintain that level of quality and consistency. |
| + | <br><br> |
| + | SME server release cycles make Redhat look like wild mad things. This can be seen as a problem. It can also be seen as a virtue. In over 15 years of e-smithery I have not once had a production system fail due to software error or hacked due to lax security. Isn't that cool? |

| + | The server manager is old. It not accurately reflect how much has happened under the hood. It is clunky and ugly but it has one redeeming feature. |
| + | <br><br> |
| + | It removes almost all technical verbiage from the user interface. Add a user, Add a group, Add an ibay. It just works and the user knows nothing about passwd, shadow and shells. No mention of DHCP, DNS and PPTP. Just "remote access" |
