Dear Raviva,<br>
<br>
Thank you for considering us! We are interested in supporting the<br>
services in question and have been discussing it the past week. Would it<br>
be possible to have a video call? This would make it easier for us to<br>
make a written application.<br>
<br>
Quick question, are the servers running Linux? If not would you be open<br>
to migrating to Linux?<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
<br>
Donna<br>
