I'm glad :) Thanks!

Thank you! It's good to know it. I've installed both MySQL and
PostgreSQL on the same virtual server (Debian Lenny as KVM guest). It
works well, so probably I'll leave MySQL alone :)

Now I have only one host for testing your OBM/MiniG, but I'm going to
build distributed architecture with a few load-balanced SMTP/POP/IMAP
front-ends and redundant/replicated database/LDAP nodes.

Thanks! I've seen that document. It looks complexly, but I hope I'll
learn OBM soon :)

Cheers!
