this is my 2 cents tip,

currently there's a secure ftp wrapper called safetp:
http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~smcpeak/SafeTP/

with that program you can use the ftp server you like more (my choice
is ncftpd, free for personal use).
from windog workstation the users can use any ftp client they like:
acting as proxy this safetp encrypt the ftp password exchange.

IMHO definetivly the lack of groupware tools as a simple (and secure) way
to share files between users and from users and the rest of the world, the
lack of acl, and the lack of really automatic way to install machines make
the linux boxes administration a nightmare and normally are menace to the
system security (how many sites are using ssh? many? but there're many
more with a broken syslogd:-( ).

best regards,
antonio cavallo
