It made sure you didn't have to remember a process you did once 4 years ago. Services like dhcp, dns and email should be failover redundant.

In the best case it should be entirely invisible from the user. -sv -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
