Using the same analogy, configuring a system to be "stupid" is synonymous to |

asking for the very behaviors that you're trying to avoid. |

Keep in mind that these are typically configure-and-forget administration |

Use whichever applications make the most sense for the solutions you implement |
| 22 |
on your server; this does not equate to the applications which are the most |

prestine and create the smallest possible amount of work to install -- |
| 24 |
continually cutting corners will only result in an eventual car accident. |
