"everything works until such time as it doesn’t" That's true. I was running email, personal web server, and VPN with soverign and that worked really weell for years until it didn't. Still, that is a long time of pretty functional work. At this point, I know enough professionally to run my stuff just fine, so I do. But seriously, although I will never get the 3-5 hours of time that it took me to debug my mailserver setup back, that was spent almost 5 years ago and I haven't had to touch it since, really. A lot of this stuff really does run just fine once you have it setup. I didn't find the maintenance burden all that high even when I knew less about these systems than I do now.
