good place that can custom build for you (SSD, large RAM, cheap video

expressions in a file? Basically I want to combine "grep -f <file>"
to store the patterns and awk's $3 ~ /(AAA|BBB|CCC)/ ... I realize

on which email program they use at work, because everyone used what
they used to use in their school years. In my last two jobs though,

The only other answer I can think of is to reinstall the
OS from scratch on another server and do an md checksum

you need to reboot if it's being used as a workstation?
\_ Occasionally you will run into the Windows NT syndrome of the system
