Reliably archiving things

Reliably archiving things is a troublesome issue. There are a numberof places to find numbers for how long CD-Rs, DVD-Rs, and varioussorts of tapes all last, and lots of debate, and lots of people whowill sell you solutions, and so on. I don't have much to add to theirnumbers and marketing information.

But I have been around for long enough to have burnt my fingers andseen other people's fingers burnt, and thus I have arrived at what I

The necessary evolution of mail servers

In a comment on my Legend of Debian post,Chris Wage wrote in part:

Most of the servers I run are: webservers, mailservers, CVS servers,etc. These are things for which well-established stable software hasexisted for years.

It leaves you baby If you don?t care for it
Did I disapoint you? Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love And you want me to go without
Well it?s too late Tonight To drag the past outIn

The Myth of Support (Part 2)

There's a story about vendor support people like to tell: if you payenough money, a lot of money, you'll get excellent support; but if youaren't willing to pay lots of money for support, clearly it's not really that important to you.

I don't know if paying lots of money gets you excellent support; I'venever worked for an organization that was in a position to pay thatsort of money. (I think you are unlikely to get
