- The Internet Server Project - Part I - Intro - Back in '99 I was determined to get out of semiconductor CAD software and into this wizzy Internet stuff. Probably the smartest thing I did back then was to build (and rebuild and rebuild) a web+email server for my own domain.

- Linux IRQ problems: mpparse.c - I've debugged several linux IRQ problems. More than one has boiled down to erroneous information coming from the motherboard info on PCI/IRQ mapping fed to kernel in mpparse.c.

- Postfix + Cyrus Imap - A Quick & Easy Setup for Suse 10.1 and The *non-MySQL* Case - In the past (Suse < 9) I've always had to build postfix and cyrus from scratch to get them to work together (could be my problem, I admit). In Suse 10.1 I've finally gotten them to work from the distro, with a few bits of config hacking, for local passwd users (no mysql based accounts in this config.)

- Suse 10.0 Internet InstallDISCLAIMER DISCLAIMER: Ok, this seems to be the way to go. I don't know how far back this was supported, but if installing 10.x, try it out.

DISCLAIMER: This note needs a rewrite because there's an easier way. I'm hoping this still works under 10.1, too, as I haven't checked it. You may want to check http://opensuse.us/viewtopic.php?t=149 for a 10.1 specific how-to.
