LFS (http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/) if you have the time. WARNING: it is a major undertaking, but for a machine dedicated to one task, where virtually everything can be well-optimised for the machine, it has major performance and admin benefits. Only try it if you have a lot of time and/or already know linux well. If you have a *lot* of time, you will gain the knowledge as you go. If you decide to, I'll see you on *that* mailing list. Also, I recommend slackware as an LFS base. -- Sam Barnett-Cormack Software Developer | Student of Physics & Maths UK Mirror Service (http://www.mirror.ac.uk) | Lancaster University ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
