I guessed front meant edge and added ie(that is) r(right) and came up with frontier for border.
Where does van come into it ?

Van FRONT

right R

FRONTIER
VAN (noun): "at the front, or in the most advanced position, of something"
Comes from VANGUARD, I believe.

Isn't it amazing how many ways they have found to sell you the same paste of nuts, fat and sugar?

I've perused about 6 different packages (I don't want a UI package) and the web pages describing the setup process is like reading a magical scroll on burnt parchment and hoping the incantation doesn't summon a demon.
I mean seriously. It should be:
sudo apt install smtp-server
1. Answer a question about the hostname (or figure it out from the /etc/hostname file)
2. Answer a question about the default inbound and "from" email or default to "admin"
3. Firewall should be automatically configured.
Get back:
1. the server name (should be the same as the hostname!)
2. the ports (should be standard!)
3. the folder where inbound emails are put into
4. a list of useful CL options to change some basic config stuff.
But noooooo. Edit this, mangle that, sudo this and this and that and thar, pray here, prick finger for blood there, curse over yonder...
It's insane, it's inane, I don't understand why it has to be so complicated.

I always get scared when seeing instruction videos on how to install software on Linux, about 90% of the video usually show a terminal screen with reams of scrolling text

Yup. And someone with an Indian accent mumbling through the process.

And this is precisely why Linux will never take over the desktop.

This is one of the reasons.
The second one, shared by Mr Torvalds himeslf, is that software packaging in Linux distributions is "a major *fing pain in the a*" [quote].
IMHO Third one is that most software is unbelievably forked up: instead of a limited choice of workable software you have a vast selection of... half complete solutions in search of problems.

Some distro's come set up as different machines. I argued a week with my PC to get a decent webserver going; there's distro's with Apache/Mono/ASP.NET preinstalled. Was up and running minutes after install 
Search more, but dive less deep.

Getting .NET 6 installed wasn't too hard, except I discovered that flavors of Ubuntu > 18.04 don't work. Debian worked fine. Got a bunch of cool stuff working (article on Tuesday) but this mail server setup is nutso. I guess I will have to try following the DigitalOcean instructions to the letter.

People keep telling me to use some form of Ubuntu.
I'm happy with Suse.

Which is weird (and annoying), because Ubuntu is based on Debian...
