-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello Darragh. As far as configuring packages and personal use software like Mutt it does not really matter which distribution you use. Sounds like for now you need to step back and take a deep breath. I just this week installed a new database virtual email system on my server and it surely caused headaches but I know in the end it will be worth it. What I'd recommend is is to maybe get a sample .muttrc file from a friend. As far as sorting the messages you put in a line like: set_sort=date Most configurations for defaults can be found in the master config file. For example sometimes mutt will have a file called /etc/Muttrc or something similar. Next, if you have any close friends using certain distributions I'd recommend going with what they use. No one distribution is better or worse than each other. In the end it's a matter of opinion. When I first learned Linux it was on a Slackware 3.5 system. After Slackware I learned Debian, and now am using Fedora Core 3. After using three distros now I have seen each has it's good and bad points. If you don't know anyone close to you who uses any Linux what so ever then you will have to rely on your virtual friends here on the list. I can tell you though, for most answers the answer is right there in the man page or in the -h parameter of a command line program. Reading a lot at one time can put you into information overload, trust me, I've felt that way these last coupld of days reading about postfix and greylisting emails. I personally use mutt and love it. I'd be willing to help you out in how I can but I no nothing next to how Suse lays out their systems. I do know it uses rpms so that is at least one similarity with Fedora Core. Cheers. - -- If you don't say anything, you won't be called on to repeat it. -- Calvin Coolidge Raul A. Gallegos ...
