Why would anyone want to leave the MailScanner environment where we
have such a crazy mailing list where no one is every right or wrong.<br>

I find gentoo and slackware far better for any server that
doesnt want to inherit a distros hacking mess, but<br>
you dont see me telling someone to piss off redhat and
install slackware or gentoo because "that will fix<br>
their problem", no...<br>
It comes down to what distro you know and prefer, but to
sit here and tell people to use debian as the cure<br>
all is one of the stupidest and dumb assed things I've
seen here to date, especially when it will yield far<br>
more questions than is necessary, and mostly all unrelated
to mailscanner, and in the end will likely not<br>
solve the OP's problem, if it does it sure as hell will
likely introduce new problems for them.<br>
If it smells like trolling, it tastes like trolling, then
it is trolling.<br>
Think about it, how about we say install linux to every
windows person who has a problem, yes, I'd love too,<br>
but hardly appropriate in the real world.<br>

Noel, I did not tell anyone to install anything. Calm down. I
simply said debian has pretty good versions of the packages
needed for mailscanner. Its worth a look for those that maybe
are less than happy. If you are happy where you are at, thats
great.<br>
<br>
And anyone that would claim that installing an OS is going to
make problems vanish is of course a fool. Go back to my last
comment of my 1st post in this thread and re-read it. There
are a lot of things an admin needs to have in place to run
mailscanner. Putting a cd into a box is the least of those
skills.<br>
<br>
In fact, 1 thing I probably should say just for the record,
for anyone else reading this :) Is that the choice of your OS
is LESS important for a mailscanner installation than whether
you are virtualizing it or not.<br>
<br>
The first thing I do is virtualize the setup, That way I can
snapshot the setup and if there is any breakage ... especially
when updating to a new release ... rollback is easy.<br>
<br>
Someone who is afraid to update his Centos mailscanner box b/c
of what may break would be better off spending time to
virtualize it rather than switching to any other OS of course.<span
