[nflug] Fedora 7 Review

[Cyber Source]

Using postfix on my Ubuntu desktops has made me familiar with this app 
and it works great. "dpkg-reconfigure postfix" will walk you through a 
nice easy setup, very simple. works great, still uses /etc/aliases, 
etc.. As far as how Ubuntu handles Apache, I don't prefer that, 
individual files for individual sites is my big gripe, but it's not that 
big of a deal, I've just never been a fan of scattering files all over 
when you could have 1 config file (shorewall comes to mind with this gripe).
