This is why I personally prefer Bruce Guenter's RPMs, since he packages
everything himself, all in one kit.

``Yeah, but I could install from RPM in five minutes!'' I, too, would

Charles said, but what's better: you actually understand what the RPM is
doing, what actually happens in a qmail install. Get good at that first.
