Not necessary.  There is no reason to assume that a BackOffice configuration is
unstable or improperly running by default, and no mention was made of any such
instability or running problems in the original post.

The original poster didn't identify himself as a receptionist, as far as I can
recall.

In any case, anyone who has trouble implementing BackOffice should not go
anywhere near FreeBSD or any other flavor of UNIX.  BackOffice is _far_ simpler
to put in place for someone who is technically unsophisticated (although the
person implementing the system would probably still require a bit more IT
experience than an average receptionist).
