Well, as I mentioned earlier, the blipping of the HDD activity light began only
after I installed qmail (was fine with dnscache & tinydns before).  I can't see
it being a config issue, as I have only installed the base services as per the
inter7.com documentation.

I was under the impression that FreeBSD was a decent OS and that 256MB of RAM
would do the trick for the few services I am running.  What are you running
Frans?
