probably the user's technical knowledge, I had one today telling me "our 
domain is down" I sent them back a link to LINX looking glass to prove it 
was not down, they couldn't understand it..... turns out is was their ISP 
at fault... as suspected...

install phpmysqladmin

http://213.38.74.210/sysinfo/index.php if you like it there is a link 
bottom left of the page, nothing to configure, just upload it and away you 
go... use opera, separate page for each server, tiled, all set to refresh 
every 15 minutes... job done
