Greg Lehey ? Aha, the writer of that book! Now's my chance to really get 'im! EXCELLENT book! The best I've ever read by, for and about Eunuchs! (to paraphrase Dilbert's boss) Seriously, I don't see why anyone would complain about your book. They should thank you. It is just a wonderful compendium of basically everything I need to know about, you know, eunuchs. (Even though I too encountered the /var problem... very small potatoes in my opinion... I reinstalled and made a 40M /var filesystem and okay, maybe it will get full at some point, but I'm a big boy and will go become creative with links or something at that time.) I don't ask for FLAWLESS books, just good ones, and yours is well beyond that. (By comparison, recently I spent $35 on an O'Reilly book about Javascript and almost NONE of the scripts I downloaded from their site worked properly! I am a bit irritated about that one...) But yours is golden. I now have a working web server with several virtual domains, DNS, mail and FTP servers, all working very nicely, with far less investment of time and mental anguish than I ever expected.
