No i meant:
I noticed a lot of people getting root server and having minimal (if ever) 
knowledge of Linux.

They ask questions like (found exactly that way in a forum i visit)

How can i execute a program as another user:

 ->sudo!

I don't understand you..

 -> man sudo

 can you please give me an answer or point me to a copy and paste howto!

So I'm a bit pissed (sorry) about people wanting to save a buck or two having 
zero knowledge and
crying for an howto..;-) Because this are the people getting their box owned, 
doing DDos or hacking
of other (possibly mine) server.

Have you tried to setup ubuntu in a VM and configured it according (perhaps not 
exactly) as the
debian setup? I have not heared of many cyrus installations, as most setups i 
know use courier - and
so maybe there is none..
