After Wietse's comments regarding the non-suitability of ext2fs for
mail, I'm not even going to risk his ire by doing something ramfs based
:-) The assumption here is that you'd use hdsupp to mount a disk or
two for /var/spool/postfix, then just run the system from RAM. Every now
and then I try to put together a disk image that would do this for
people, but I never get anywhere :-) It's a pretty crazy goal, compared
to doing a Gentoo or OpenBSD install on the same hardware.

The only reason I switched to boot-from-hard drive is I got annoyed with
how long backups took.
