He doesn't have a lot of sys admin expertise, so the Raq4 Admin interface is nice for his 75 or so virtual domains that he hosts.  This server has software that is horribly outdated (sendmail/bind/etc) and the Cobalt Linux OS seems to be dieing out so we're looking for a new solution.

(most likely SuSE, Debian, or Slack)  The most important part is this last part.  The server will be co-located in Virginia, but beforehand we will wipe the drive and install an OS and the software required.
