On your homepage you mention that your web-admin-managment console 
depends heavily on certain tools, patches and their versions.
Are there any plans to release it with less dependencies? I would quite 
like to just grep a tarball and set it up on my ubuntu/suse box.

2.nd OT question: How do you/univension make money by releasing this 
web-admin interface to the world?
