Oh my, ADR still exists ....

I planned to close that project some months ago, but wasn't able to do
it quickly, so I left it running ...

I'd like to see such a live cd as well as a netboot-image. In fact I
fiddled around with PXE-booting recently when setting up a nice diskless
distcc-cluster in my basement ;)

I am not sure if your development should go into that old ADR-project,
or if we should start a new one, for example I could donate some
webspace on one of my servers. Or we start a fresh one on sourceforge or
something similar.

As you may have registered I have gone passive now in the
Amanda-core-team, I had to do that because of several reasons. But I am
still open to new developments, just keeping the ball low for now.

Greetings, Stefan.
