I see, that's substantially less assurances than I believed the |
| 17 |

It still seems like it could be a slight advantage over other |
| 20 |
deployment options for my purposes however. I'll most likely be using |
| 21 |
default settings for the base installations -- bare minimal will |
| 22 |
suffice until I get around to customization (and potential borkage) of |
| 23 |
individual machines. |

Thanks for clarifying on the tracker issue. That just leaves me with |
| 26 |
one question: Are you able to give us a more fine-grained ETA than |
| 27 |
"March" for the 2007.0 release yet? |
