Thank you Thomas, good to know it.
But I am more interested in the Bluebottle reliability as server, and if 
you can share some known problems.

 From my experience with the 09.12.05 version:

1. FTP server is very sensible and must be handled with care. One 
verified condition: if the FAT partition where the ftp is assigned, is 
mounted read-only, on the first login connection the ftp server goes in 
recursive trap, and the system is completely out of user control. It 
could be only hardware rebooted. Not very funny for a database server. 
This didn't happened on the 20.07.05 version. Now I open the ftp server 
on that machine only for administrative tasks, and immediately close it 
after.

2. Rebooting is not always successful. This is ugly specially when done 
remotely by VNC. I am not sure, but I suspect:
    - Some "innocent" application trap: the application and system are 
perfectly working, but rebooting fails.
    - Some combination of Object Traker and Performance Monitor use.

Thanks,
Dan Parnete
