Introduction

 

SBS and Clearspace are powerful tools for enterprises, but taking advantage of it to its fullest extent requires a little bit of creativity and a lot of help. Don't worry if you find yourself frustrated or out of answers -- there's always someone out there asking the same questions! Each section is separated by the type of tasks a specific user would want to know about, i.e. a developer looking to debug the application or a power user trying to understand how popularity works.

 

The ability for users to create public cases has allowed users to ask about either Clearspace or SB and have their findings available to the public (keep on making those cases public...Support thanks you for it). This document holds some of the more esoteric concepts and techniques.
