A few suggestions: DO use RCS for storing configuration files in /etc once your machine is set up or write it down in a note book. Otherwise, you will forget the majic one line change in /etc/<somenotobvious>. Many configuration files in /etc include <foo>.local so use it. Contentious ;-) DONT use sendmail, use exim.
