I have never set up procmail or samba before. Is it fairly straight forward? When I do a server install of my favorite distribution will these likely be included?

Tom,
I've just got doing the same thing. procmail filters the various
accounts into the right directories, and using IMAP/SSL, i can safely
check my email from work.
I'd also suggest setting up Samba, and using roaming profiles. Just a
thought.

Will any distribution do as well as another in this? I have the iso's for Mandrake 9.1 and RH 9.0 along with some other older distributions. This sounds like it will also solve the problem of losing my mail every time I switch email clients.
