It should get anyone with OpenBSD 3.3. stable up an running within a very short time."
Thanks, Robin, Chris' note are very good and detailed. The ACID front end is pretty nice, well worth the effort to set it up. Sure beats trying to figure this all out on your own. Thanks, guys!

Whats the reason for this:
"Change cron so nightly jobs run in _late_ early morning."
Why is this more secrure than running these jobs one or two hours after midnight ?

my interpretation is that it's a better idea to run big cron jobs between 3-5am on production machines as there are still a lot of people browsing, etc. at midnight, 1am, 2am, etc. i know that's when i do most of my administration on my home network. so if all my cron jobs started off at midnight? it'd be quite the annoyance..

I mean if you're that worried about ticking off overseas potential customers you obviously should be having enough muscle in your webserver(s) to handle such a thing.

Besides the actual point was that 'it does differ' at which time you should do it per box. If your box has statistically the lowest load on time X then you do it on time X. If your box has statiscally.. Y.. you got the point.
Therefore a recommendation to set it to X is incorrect. It depends per situation; it's worth looking at, but it ain't a law that X is the best like the author states.
Recently Linux 2.4.21 got released. Kernel.org got hard to reach. You say: oh, let's buy more and/or better hardware. I say: check if it's possible to tweak the software a bit around to make it more efficient. Your solution costs money (hint: not everyone has much money, even small businesses can have hard times!). I say: first look if it's possible to make software based changes to make it work better, or the most efficient (and then look at hardware if needed).

Agree, but for hobbyists it ain't (and yeah, hobbyists can run a server too. Hobbyists can run a big server too).
If you do it in free time it ain't costing. If you are bored at work and would be doing nothing else the whole day then it won't cost more either ;)

The list of server recommendations in the guide is basically from my own list of first things I do when I set up a system.

The nature of your website also applies - if you're running a site that caters more towards the 2AM gamer variety (like me) you'll tend to notice your traffic bottoms out around 4AM PST/7AM EST instead (weird but true). Examine your logs and decide as appropriate.
