Our baby was release just some moments ago. Many thanks to all who made this happen, I’m very proud!
Also many thanks to the release team, ftpmaster, cd people, www-team, press folks and all who worked so hard today instead of having release party, to make it real.
Just a place to be!

After shutdown of the old L.ROOT-SERVERS.NET the IP address formerly associated with it, the IP continued to answere requests. More informations can be found at the ICANN Blog
UPDATE: Before bothering around, if you read the ICANN Blog, you realize that the issue was fixed very shortly. The whole problem is, that the file of the root DNS servers have to be keeped up to date. This issue should be fixed by operator of resolving nameservers (usually your ISP). A goody will be, to have this fixed by the next point release of debian, but it is NOT security critical.
Thanks Thijs for make me sensible that my article may misslead people who are not reading the referenced document.
UPDATE 2: A more technical description can also be found at Renesys Blog and a disussion how it is related to debian.
Yesterday my ordered HP Thin Client T5725 arrived. The clue is, Debian sarge is and no moving parts (no noise) are inside. It’s a really nice thin client and it can be used as Surfstation out of the box. There is also a “HP Connection Administrator” which can manage ‘Citrix‘, ‘rdesktop‘ and ‘XDMCP‘ connections.
After taking a short overview, I decided to update to etch. This was a kind tricky, cause packages did need to update in correct order to save the HP packages. Due the switch from Xfree to xorg with etch, the graphical frontend for configuring the X server didn’t work anymore, but in my environment this is no issue.
So now I’m really happy with a HP Thin Client and bleeding edge software on it, for xdmcp use. ;)
In your config file of virtual machine you need the following:
# grep serial openwrt.vmx
serial0.present = "TRUE"
serial0.fileType = "pipe"
serial0.fileName = "./serial1"
serial0.pipe.endPoint = "server"
serial0.hardwareFlowControl = "TRUE"
Redirect output to stdio or a port:
# socat <path_to_virtual_machine_dir>/serial1 <stdio |tcp4-listen:<port>>
