Too bad they did not include the other mentioned items in te above
paragraph as "observations". Their "c" is presently, "hey, my disk is
churning and making a steady noise. Time to add swap!" To quote "Kuni"
from Weird All Yankovic's UHF, "Soooooo Sttuuuuupid!" :-)

This is a bad Question, but so far not as bad as Qs from the MS Cert
exams. I seem to recall one MS cert Q asking about solutions for mail
service  *requiring* the user to choose "the best soltution for this would
be installation of MS Exchange."
