9 I'm guessing that for questions such as this, particularly as this one
10 doesn't appear to be Gentoo/amd64 specific, are more likely to get useful
11 answers on the Gentoo/server list, than here. It seems most list
12 regulars here are desktop/laptop/workstation users, not so many server
13 admins, so answers are likely to be a bit sparse, here.
14
15 Then again maybe I'm wrong and all the server admins are lurking, since
16 nobody has been asking server questions, and they'll all pop out of the
17 woodwork now that I just said there aren't many of them on this list! =:^)
