Nah, you'll warm up to it. In fact, some of what I've learned has
been in saying "What the heck is that?!!?!" from things I saw in
LogWatch. It's a handy tool.

This (I'm fudging) has to do with not having _unique_ certificates
set up properly on your server. There are howtos for this on the net.
I'm having to get mine set up, too....I don't like people using POP/IMAP
on my site without their passwords being scrambled. They *might* not be
necessary if cleartext passwords are no problem for you. (The howto will
tell the tale; see google.)

Not a problem; modern Linux appears to want to start IP version 4
AND 6 versions of things. I'm thinking they have a plan to move us that
way, soon. This one isn't a problem.

This is a hard drive usage list.
/dev/hda<partition number> is a partition on the primary master,
hdb, the secondary.
/dev/hdc<partition number> is a partition on the secondary master,
and hdd, the secondary. Some motherboards have more, but this is
standard.
/dev/shm is kinda new to me, but it vaguely relates to 'shared
memory' and I *think* deals with swap space, or a RAM-based temporary
storage (think: /tmp directory). I'm no expert on this.

Some of these are already discussed in this list; most you'll just
have to learn-as-you-go. Don't worry- we're here to help, as long as
you at least _try_ to research it on your own.
Good luck!
