They had to install quite a few packages (perl, python27, libX11, avahi ...) and modified the stock FreeBSD image quite a bit. At startup they send an arping otherwise you do not even have network access in their network. This looks all a bit hackish and error prone. I am really wondering how long it will take that a regular update breaks their scripts and let's you back with a non accessible box. -- Bernhard Froehlich http://www.bluelife.at/
