How depends on what. What e-mail server do you want to run?

Here is a pretty thorough guide to installing qmail:

try configuring your graphics card using xf86config in the console and get the newest drivers, either at ATI's or NVidia's website.

good luck!

tnx the two of you.. ill post what is the error was that. by the way i have a plan to make an email server but i read it wisely then i really confused coz it mentioned the two kinds of email name the " POSTFIX and QMAIL" which ones is really great and easy to configure for just a newbies like me.

qmailrocks only deals with qmail. Click on the links to your distro on the right side to get you started.

were still using the old, the ugly and quite stable sendmail! no problem so far since 1999!

If it works, why break it right?
