So, that being said, where should I start as a user switching distros? Any good docs I could read to help me get the swing of things on the switchover while I test this out?
The world would be much better if every distro had a simple page, showing the already initiated user how to use the available tools. For exemple, suse tricks: /etc/init.d/postfix restart or /etc/rc.d/postfix restart or rcpostfix restart insserv mailman or lots and lots of "ln -s ....mailman" load modules at boot time: edit /etc/sysconfig/kernel, MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT or man modules.conf; man modprobe.conf; edit, cross your fingers and reboot; edit again, etc, etc, etc how to restore grub after "fdisk /mbr" etc, etc, etc Although there is "binary compatibility", there is almost no "administration compatibility" - It could make muh easier the transition phase, or even provoke a faster distro change. Sometimes we spent lots of time doing the job of an already existent tool; but due to a sort of problems, it was unknown and was not used. Anyone knows about such a reference? -- Marcos Lazarini
