[thechat] Linux install stuffz

[Chris Evans]

Yeah, I've been bitten by qmail and EOL's before.   I'll check into it - I
was going with sendmail by default, so that is helpful.

Any feedback on cups for print serving?  I've never heard of it, but someone
here suggested it.

Also, am I correct that I can connect to a linux box without X installed
using somethign like Hummingbird's Exceed?  Or do I need X installed on the
linux box to export the display?

I've become a quite a fan of Qmail (http://www.qmail.org/).

It's small, fast, and modular.  And it doesn't get compromised.
And its not Sendmail.  And its not a big gaping security hole.
And its not Sendmail. (oh wait, I already said that.)

Also by the same author of qmail (djb not to be confused with our own
illustrious djc) is a BIND replacement, djbdns.  You can find a link on his
home page at http://cr.yp.to

Definitely read the docs before installing these pieces of software.  There
are a couple of oddities in each piece of software owing largely to djb's
maniacal insistence on following RFC's even when nothing else on the
internet does.

But, that being said, he does make great software with very few security
holes.
