Re: Defining ISP?
Hi, what i used to do is install a base system and then install some of the package packs i've defined. For example, if what i want is install a web server with php % perl support i use a config file what i've defined myself which contains this: apt-get install apache2-common apache2-mpm-prefork libapache2-mod-auth-mysql libapache2-mod-perl2 php4-common libmailtools-perl libhtml-format-perl bzip2 file libio-socket-ssl-perl ca-certificates libapache2-mod-php4 php4-mysql php4-pear For the rest of services exactly the same. I'v defined manually the whole list of packages needed for web server, ftp server, irc server, mail server (smtp, pop and imap), antivirus server, etc... If you can build a local mirror of you version of debian, i.e. sarge, you can do local network installations, and your installs will be so fast. That work fine for me at least :) BR, jonathan Christian Hammers wrote: On 2004-09-14 shift wrote: Thinking maybe of a an ISP specific install. Lighter and even more secure. A minimalistic distribution... Most ISP will probably have different servers for the different services and on each of them they will start with a secure base install with as few software installed as possible and then just install apache/postfix/proftpd whatever they need and customize it. I don't see a big bonus in a special ISP distribution. A better integration of iptables firewalls, vlans or traffic shapers would be nice but that's nothing ISP specific. bye, -christian- P.S.: pbuilder is a nice tool to build minimal installations that you can just untar onto a new harddisk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: addenda to question about status of VLAN support in Debian/Linux in general
In such case the best you can do is setup some kind of QoS on network gear and TOS labeling along your network in order to prioritize traffic and get rid as much as posible of hard flows. j Adrian 'Dagurashibanipal' von Bidder wrote: On Sunday 12 September 2004 12.41, Leonardo Boselli wrote: [...] using only one NIC per server is just a "clean wiring" consideration.) I guess the most important (and obvious) consideration is that all VLANs on the same wire share the same bandwidth. With normal loads, this should be fine, but you'll have to think about what happens if a host on one of the networks runs amok. greets -- vbi -- Jonathan Gonzalez Fernandez (o> mail : [EMAIL PROTECTED] //\ jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] V_/ site : www.surestorm.com ::: Registered Linux User #86 ::: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Hint: If you setup VLAN with /etc/network/interfaces please keep in mind that the physical interface has to be up in order to create VLANs on it, i.e. you have to set somme (dummy?) IP to ethX in order to create ethX.VID. You'd better leave up but unconfigured the physical interface in order to avoid further routing trouble.

Re: High volume mail handling architecture
:) hehehe, Ok, i was just asking because there are some MTA's that can fit better in some environments than others. I like features of QMail, Postfix and Exim, but i hate others for an ISP environment. jonathan Marcin Owsiany wrote: On Fri, Sep 10, 2004 at 09:07:37PM +0200, Jonathan G - Mailing Lists wrote: Sorry, what's your MTA?
