Hi.
-I probably shouldn't be poking at the [WLUG | WaikatoLinuxUsersGroup] wiki
but [How To
Postfix Cyrus Webcyradm
HOWTO|HowToPostfixCyrusWebcyradmHOWTO
] looked like it could use some cleanup and since I'm familiar with [
PhpWiki | http://phpwiki
.sourceforge
.net][1]
, I figured I'd reformat the text so it's a little easier to follow. Sorry if I've stepped on anybody's toes.

-I started working with Slackware in 1994, migrated to Red Hat
around 1996, then switched to SuSE
around 1998. I've played around a little with Mandrake and Debian but still find SuSE
the most sensible and reliable distribution. I'm a bit disenchanted with RPMs
and packaged
software in general so I'm curently experimenting with Gentoo. It's going surprisingly well but I'm hampered by a slow test machine (266MHz Pentium II with 64MB RAM) I built from parts leftover from my last system upgrade. I should've given them away; I have too many computers around the house as it is.

-And despite the last name, I'm nowhere near New Zealand
or Australia[2] -
I'm in Austin, Texas; a fun, friendly, tolerant city with very few of the stereotypical gun-toting men with big hats and pointy boots or women with too much make-up and big hair. Think of it as an island of literacy in a sea of pickup trucks.

-! Footnotes:
-[1] FWIW
, my wiki is at http://www.cynistar.net/pwiki/ - most of what you
'll find
there is discussions about improvisational comedy
, which is what I do when I'm not maintaining servers
(or leaving little nuggets
of joy in wikis on
the other side
of the planet
.)

+''Welcome Bob
, The HOWTO
's are
there for people to cleanup
, comment on and update
(theres nothing more irritating than a horribly out
of date HowTo [IMHO]. Thanks for cleaning up
the formatting, my [HTML] 2 wiki script really botched most
of the HowTo~s
. The Wiki'
s not just for members
of the WaikatoLinuxUsersGroup, it's just set up and mostly used by us :) -- PerryLorier''

+Thanks! I can't imagine a SysAdmin ever being upset with someone who helps with documentation :) Still, it can be disconcerting to have total strangers in odd time zones editing one's wiki. I just put a new server onto my public network and after configuring the FireWall and the WebServer, I'm trying to set up a new instance of [Postfix] with [Cyrus] for [IMAP] and [POP3] service (I want to provide WebMail for friends without them resorting to Yahoo or Hotmail and my old server really needs to be upgraded.) The [WLUG] version of the HOWTO popped up pretty high in the [Google] search, and being bored (actually avoiding working on mail; mail administration makes my head hurt) I cleaned things up. I also added some references for your CodeOfEthics, mainly because I was familiar with [SAGE | http://www.sage.org]'s recent efforts to update theirs.
+
+Anyway, I probably won't be messing with much else but if you or any of your members find themselves in Austin, feel free to give me a call. Austin is a very [Linux]-friendly town and despite the current economy, it's a (the
?) major tech center in Texas. -- BobApthorpe
