[geeks] Sendmail question

[Joacim Melin]

Well, one good reason is that Irix doesn't run on a Sparcstation 5. :-)

I also really dislike Solaris and have been running Linux for years and 
feel quite home in it, even though it has it's flaws.

I will probably try to compile postfix at a later date for this box but 
since it's a Turbosparc CPU I reckon it will be plenty of trouble 
getting anything to work on it. But that's part of the fun I guess.
