Well, I'm glad to see that you've all assumed I'm a retard. Seeing as both
boxes have an identical install image, what you're suggesting still makes
no sense. It's not that one box has had certain features disabled or
enabled, and I do love the approach you take to your users questions.
Prehaps you'd like to tell me why sendmail outperformed postfix on the
SCSI machine then? hmm?
