Here (finally :-) for your review are some proposals for new ubotu factoids for use in #ubuntu-server, as promissed in the server roadmap.
Missing factoids: * mail-server - Ubuntu provides mail client and mail server software off all kinds. See "mua" (Mail User Agent), "mta" (Mail Transfer Agent), and "mda" (Mail Delivery Agent) for more information. * mua is an abbreviation for Mail User Agent. Examples include evolution, thunderbird and mutt. They are alternatives to programs like Windows Outlook. See also "mta" and "mda". * mta is an abbreviation for Mail Transfer Agent. postfix is the default MTA for Ubuntu, and exim is also officially supported. See also "mua" and "mda". * mda is an abbreviation for Mail Delivery Agent. dovecot is the default MDA for Ubuntu, and it can deliver mail via imap and pop. * imap is a protocol for reading email. The officially-supported imap server in Ubuntu is dovecot. * pop is a protocol for reading email. The officially-supported pop server in Ubuntu is dovecot * nic is an abbreviation for Network Interface Card. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection for help detecting cards and getting the right kernel driver module. * ntp is an abbreviation for Network Time Protocol. Ubuntu uses it via the ntp package to keep clocks in sync. There are a few more on the roadmap but this is a good start. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/Roadmap Neal McBurnett http://mcburnett.org/neal/ -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
