I’ve been writing up detailed notes for the course and placing them in the Forums under Initial Configuration (http://www.ovsage.org/forums/?vasthtmlaction=viewforum&f=1.0). I have just finished adding a complete list of all packages installed along with a brief description for each. Next I’ll be performing a detailed descriptions of all the services installed along with instructions for turning specific services on or off based on Scott’s list.

For an interesting presentation on the complexity of e-mail check out the following presentation:

Until I saw this, I was unaware of how badly designed the current e-mail structure is, and how badly/incomplete the RFCs for e-mail are. Unfortunately the slides are blurry so you cannot see the examples very well but the talk alone is very informative.
