Ah one of the Linux is better then NT people, each technolgy has it's place.

Yes our web site was down, it happens you know, we are in the process of
doing a number of upgrades, one of which is moving to qmail and a linux web
server, however I cannot move all our mail to a server I do not know how to
operate yet. You insult us by with your thank goodness, that implies your
one of the I'm better then you people since your server was down and you
only have a dsl.

In todays world many people are given jobs that always what they have been
trained for, as such I'm a programmer that has also been tasked with server
admin, when you work for a small company you do not always have the luxuary
of hiring dedicated networking gurus. I take the time to read the manuals
but do not always find or understrand the answer, then I must turn to other
resources to find what I need to know.
