Application service provider Zinside recently introduced its Zen Box server, a product the company is positioning as an open-source alternative to Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Domino. The French company's first configuration of the server is based on a "Shuttle" case, with an AMD AthlonXP 2400+, 256 MB of RAM DDR 300Mhz, a 80 GB hard drive and CDROM burner.
