Hi all, Just a question to satisfy my curiosity. When booting sendmail takes a very long time to start. This happens in FC6 but even longer in F7 on a new laptop. I'm watching it now and its been 7 minutes so far. Done! Sendmail finished in 9 minutes and now sm-client ... is ... finished in ... 4 minutes. The rest boots quite quickly, less than 2 minutes for everything else. All mail is done through another box. This is not a problem, allows plenty of time to make some tea and get a slice of cake.
If you ever get tired of the opportunity to have morning tea and a natter while the computer gets started, you might get around to checking that networking is starting properly, you have fully functioning DNS or an alternative.
