I would like to thank all contributors for the quality of the produ= ct, and the community. My questions have always been answered helpfully. Out of the box, the server reports its health to me regularly and those reports are easy to extend. For a Unix hacker like myself, the environment is wonderful, and easy to maintain.=20 I'm not pleased with the direction that much of Linux is taking. Daemons managing files traditionally managed by people. Help stored in man, info, h= tml and God knows what else. I could go on but I'm sure you know well already.= =20 On FreeBSD, my NIC driver has a manpage. Astonishing, and helpful. Not everything is a dream, but the community is helping make me comfortable. Th= is is what Unix felt like when I first touched it.=20 Kudos.=20 Mike --=20 Michael P. Soulier "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex...
