  I follow private@ more closely, but project@ is okay with me (and I
noticed the diffmon output, nice).

  Wow, great work. I never had the guts to proceed with it knowing how
much work it was and how hard it would be to find enough continuous time
to do it properly. Congrats and thank you very very much for your work.

  I can help with that, I litteraly upgraded a hundred Debians (and
more).

  Note: this server (Petzi) is in transition mode from infrastructure
point of view. It still has a serial console, but it is also about to
have an IPMI module which will help a lot with full remote management.
It just happend that the IPMI modules we found (Tyan M3290) have both sw
and hw bugs and we need to fix them...

  For emergencies, if I'm not pingable you may globally ask for help on
#bearstech/Freenode. We are 6 adminsys, most of the time one is
awake :).
