I didn't think you were supposed to run X on servers. Hang on, Icedove

Didn't think haggis could stomach it. :-? Not surprised, just thinking
of the overall picture. I have a couple spare machines, and want to run
PostgreSQL + Apache + PHP + mail + firewall and thought that I read
somewhere that it was not a good idea to have them all on the one
machine. I have an old laptop which I will have a go at using it as some
sort of thin-client but also able to be used as a 'laptop'.

local delivery? say from logcheck. mutt depends on an MTA, which
delivers to /var/spool/mail/<user> but set spoolfile=imap://haggis/INBOX
... <scratch head> ... ah! muttprofile? ... I think I *need* a map.

Don't forget to check that your /etc/apt/sources.lst entries point to
etch and not testing, otherwise you may end up with a broken system once
etch goes stable.
