your tutorials are really great!
Only one point of critizism. i hope its constructive :-)
postfixadmin is a fine tool, but your tutorial aims at a "isp in a box" so it would be really nice if there'd be an administration tool, to create & configure virtual webhosts etc, too.
most of you probably know confixx from swsoft (comercial software), but only a few know about syscp.
syscp has nearly ALL the confixx functions and it's opensource.
the core syscp devs use osx systems as clients, too and i read on the list that they are very interested in a "osx port".
in my opinion there is not much to do for such a port, as syscp is a php project and thus just needs to "speak" with the system daemons like apache, mysql, postfix etc.
would be really great if you could take a look at it and cook up a nice tutorial :)
Dave, I agree with your points and would love to take a good look at syscp or even at webmin which Jeff suggested earlier.
The problem here is not that I don't want to take a look at it but it's the time constraints. I've got a daytime job, a family with kids and I have to negotiate between them to find time to spend here.
I try to restrict myself to doing one subject at a time, which currently is DSpam and will move on to geylisting, and I have to support people who have problems setting up their Mac.
I hope you understand this, I really want to but if I can't do it properly I leave it till later. Please note that syscp is on my list of things to look at !

Hi richard5,
this is completely understandable.
i expect that we all (opensourcepeople) have the same problems ;-)
maybe i can motivate the syscp guys to take a look at your tutorials. perhaps they are so impressed, that they start to setup on their own (including syscp) :-)

the projectsite is located at http://www.syscp.org
and take a look at the screenshots:
