I have noticed in some distros (namely Ubuntu) that the fstab uses UUID's rather than /dev references. Is this a better way? Does it eliminate the problem of /dev references changing when another drive, i.e., an external USB drive, is plugged in? The /dev references may change but the

[gentoo-user] Qmail and Spamassassin won't integrate

Hello all, I am quickly getting to the hair-pulling stage because I cannot accomplish the simple setup of qmail and spamassassin. There is lots of docs out there, but they all suggest completely different ways of doing things. Here's what I have: netqmail-1.05-r8 dovecot-1.0.13-r1
