Ditto! This looks like a great combo for a barebones system. How do we (we being those that aren't skilled enough to add it ourselves) make a formal request to get this into the code stream? Could we pay someone for this? What would it cost? I'd be willing to pitch in a couple of hundred USD for the ability to access these features in the amd64 releases. Jeff.
