Best Practises

This category is a place for pages that have best practises for setting up servers and services. Best practises pages are supposed to be howto style documents on how to set up a service, assuming that you understand that service. General notes about a service should go in the ServiceNotes page, where notes about setting up a service with all the bells and whistles should go in a ServiceBestPractises page (and should have a link to CategoryBestPractises).

Best practises pages assume you understand the service, they are not designed to be an introduction to setting up a service (they should go in ServiceHowTo pages), but are more for how to set them up in an advanced manner.

Best practises pages also assume that you've set up other related services using the other best practises pages. For instance, SMTPBestPractises? may assume that you have LDAP configured as documented in LDAPBestPractises?.

InNeedOfRefactor:

1. It seems "practice" is the accepted spelling, noun or verb, unless you're very very British. Also, "the analogy of the English language requires that the noun and verb which are pronounced alike should agree in spelling" As I originally noted, this is a noun, so the correct spelling is practice, regardless of whether you are very very British, slightly British, or merely 'Not American' as I like to consider myself when I don't say Pakeha or New Zealander :) --DanielLawson
2. I would rather see these pages named BestPracticesForXxxx (with a common stem), but that conflicts with the way we do Notes. Suggestions?
