RE: Newbie needs help...

[Brenda A. Bell]

Thanks for all the responses... I think I've got it.  I had checked
several of the Mandrake groups and lists and wasn't finding a whole lot
of qmail posts... and [EMAIL PROTECTED] is pretty low volume
which doesn't help you learn a whole lot.  In my exhaustive search
through the mandrake stuff, I completely missed the link for
list.cr.yp.to... duh!!!

 where do people
  go for help on qmail?  I tried the Mandrake list but 
 there's not a whole
  lot of activity and it's sometimes days before anyone 
 responds.  I've
  looked for other lists and/or newsgroups and haven't been 
 able to find
  an active one.
 
 Well, if you run Mandrake, you'll be hard pressed to find a 
 better all 
 around newsgroup than alt.os.linux.mandrake ... we average 
 3,200-4,000 
 posts a week, and have a very helpful bunch of regulars 
 there; some have 
 even moved on to other distros such as Debian or Gentoo, but 
 continue to 
 contribute to a.o.l.m. due to the robustness of the community therein.
 
 OTOH, I haven't seen a lot of discussion there regarding 
 qmail, as the MDK
 distros all come with both Postfix (the default) and 
 sendmail, so those
 are what most people there use; still, it's certainly worth a 
 shot to post
 your qmail questions there.

RE: 'My favorite platform' debate (was: Rack Mount Servers)

[Brenda A. Bell]

   The 640 KB limit arose from the original IBM-PC design, 
 circa 1980.  
 Since the 8086 didn't even have a memory manager, hardware 
 needed to be
 mapped directly into physical memory space, and IBM thought 
 640/384 was a
 good place to draw the line between software and reserved memory.

Somewhere on the Internet there's an anthology of hilarious quotes... I
believe it was someone from IBM who said why would anyone ever need
more than 640K RAM in a personal computer.  I don't think anyone knew
what was going to happen in this space.  As much as I hate to give them
credit for anything, I believe Redmond is greatly responsible for the
kind of PC hardware we have today... Windows 3.1 was a hog, but people
wanted it and the hardware vendors did what they needed to to keep up.
