Actually, no.  When I get it up I plan on running sendmail, so 
root's mail will be sent to another box, and httpd and mysql.

Currently, fstat | wc -l reports 136 open files...not even close 
to 5000.

Those are the big ones.  Others will be standard, sshd, syslog,
and dhclient.

I did recompile the kernel, but didn't mess with the default 
process management settings.

Any recommendations?  This box is being designed as a webserver.  I'm 
trying to install Geeklog, an OpenSource blog / content management / 
web portal thingy that uses mySQL and PHP.  The site will be low 
traffic, mainly a "lab" for me to learn new things.
