Well I've switched that server over to dovecot and so far everything is working well :) There's a few deep nested folders that aren't subscribable normally, but are after a manual tweak of the subscriptions file but I'll work that out later. Thanks for the input, dovecot does seem to be faster and more lightweight which is perfect for this installation.

I have two M4A79 Deluxe mobos, one with the Deneb 940 and that's where I get the error when I try to use the k10temp module. The other runs the 9750 Agena and uses the asus_atk0110 module and works okay. Both are amd64 running 2.6.34. I'll reboot the 940 and see if that module works.

[gentoo-user] Is a git based tree going to save me bandwidth and time?
Hi folks... I've been thinking about switching from a rsync based tree to a git based one cloning [0]. The main reasons because I would do that is in order to save bandwidth (I've a slow GSM connection in my netbook and I sync two other gentoo boxes from the first one) and maybe time. So here goes the question, Is a git based tree really going to save me an appreciable bandwidth and time on syncing?, Can I keep the same replication functionality rsync gives me to sync my other boxes?
