1. OS part
- filesystem, probably reiserfs (fast)
- tweaked boot for high performance
- tweaked kernel, highmem, disk access and stuff 

2. database part
- various maintanace scripts (for now using them for backups 
and vacuuming)
- jump to pg8 :(
- autovacuum???
- implementing a logging facility to RAM, flushing logs in 
background to disk?????

3. backup part
- backup is done by shell scripts and cron (change? not likely)
- backups on other machines (over scp for other linux hosts, samba 
for 'secure' Windows2000???, eventually a pro backup app although i 
don't think it is necessary, maybe for whole system recovery)

4. spying, early warning, notification part.
- monitoring disk space, backup files dimensions, excerpts from 
certain log files, system status and stats (cpu usage, ram etc), monitoring 
pg sessions because the internal pg monitor sucks :(, we need a good policy on 
killing iddle sessions and runaway processes.
