1) it's not a number game 2) as you pointed out yourself, your systems have a lot more commonalities than you'd think. Even for one single system, the fact that you can lose that system, re-create it, restore the data and be done with it, including the tens of tiny optimisations you added to it over the years and that you could not possibly remember. You have two systems? Bang, those optimisation and securing tips you discovered on your first system are now applied to both. Also, once you're in that game, you will find use for identical systems you never thought of before because it was too much work: Need to run test on a box identical to prod? Boom, done. -- Yves. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
