So I'm quite happy that I can add the answers to these questions already to the slides for this evening. :-) P.S.: Tolimar will also give a Debian GNU/kFreeBSD talk at CeBIT based on these slides. See [1] for the announcement. [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-news/2010/msg00000.html Cc to Tolimar so he gets that information, too.
