We use Joomla quite a lot here so I have some experience of it. (I don't
personally have much to do with it but I'll try and drag our young lad
Ben along for a meeting as he knows it pretty well).

To widen this up I'd like to understand the nuts and bolts of the boot
procedure (this ties in with your point 5); from where the BIOS looks
for boot information (and in what order) and what happens from there. I
know bits and pieces about it but not enough to feel confident.

This is something I'd like too, preferably Qmail related since that's
what I seem to come up against most often. In particular its the
"running" bit I'm interested in: how to manage the mail queue
(particularly when something goes wrong), how to manage the flow of
email through virus and spam checking, etc.

There's been some good articles in Linux Format about this in the past
couple of months. This month there's talk about an alternative content
filter aimed at protecting kids, but I don't have the mag to hand to
tell you what it was. Sounds much simpler than DG to configure though.

MJR had a talk on this, which he went through some months back; it would
be good to hear that again.

I'd also like to include stuff like InitNG (which re-orders the boot
sequence and runs things in parallel to speed it up).
