| |
I noticed that someone sprinkled some of the configurable items with a "(RECOMMENDED)" tag in 2.1.77.
I thought this was a jolly idea, so I went through some of the Config.in's and added more.
We might want to think about maintaining something like this. What is attached is only a starting place, but it might help beginnings configure their system...
