Frantisek Holop

hi there,

i am fishing for ideas from others regarding
how to read/send email in my current life situation
(=being on the road all the time connecting once
in a while with 3rd world wifi).

i have my own mail server, that i can setup as i want.
i am travelling with my notebook.  my preferred
setup would be something that downloads my mails
when i am connected, then i can write answers locally
even when being offline, and these would be sent
automatically (through my server) when i come
online again.  my mail client is mutt.

any road warriors living like this with a rock
solid well tested setup?

hi there,

is there any strong logical reason why
/var/www/htdocs is restored to its default
state after updates?

if i have removed those files (as i guess most
people on production servers would), why is
it a good thing they always reappear every
6 months?

would it be possible to make sysmerge ignore them,
or ask if i wanted them back?
