After waiting a couple weeks and days that every single piece of my hardware got delivered I finally found the time to install it in the datacenter.

As usual, there&#8217;s more to do in the future: Server\/Database tuning, Upgrading from Debian Lenny to Debian Squeeze, developing updates and of course new features if I actually find some time.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to all who have donated so far.
