That being said, if you're only planning on running this other machine
as a mailserver, hnalding the preprocessing as you described, there's
no urgent reason to have fantastic package management, as you won't be
updating all that often.

Other than periodic bug fixes, I can't see a reason to be really
worried about updating a server who only has one task. Presumably you
won't want to take it offline if at all possible once it's set up. You
may want to look at www.sol-linux.com.

They claim to have optimized their distro for servers (hence the name,
server-optimized-linux), but I have never used it.
