I'm sorry, that was a thinko. It should've read "machine" or "system"
or similar. And the conclusions apply even moreso to desktop boxes than
to servers, because there tend to be so many more of them, and because
most of the time, sysadmins are geared towards managing servers rather
than desktops, making changes to the latter harder, and less smooth.
YMMV on the details, of course, but there wasn't intended to be any
differentiation between servers and desktops in my mail.
Cheers,
