You may change your source lists and install the software you may need.
Always compatible with Sarge and, in the future, Ubuntu.

The class object used is 'PosixAccount', I think the standard one.

There are two kinds of backups (both full ones). You can save only the
configuration settings or save some additional data as mail, shared
files, certificates....

No, currently, it's not implemented at eBox level.

ClamAV downloads new virus signatures and every night Apt does an
update.

Yeah.

Currently, these notifications are sent via Jabber. In the future, the
email will be addressed as well.
