[Savannah-hackers] Re: [ 102210 ] phpGroupWare website move to GNU servers

[Dave Hall]

Hi,

As I mentioned to Dan, I have discussed user mode linux to several
people, they have suggested this would be overkill for phpgroupware. 
Norbet (aka nb) has offered to provide any assistance required to setup
a chroot'd debian environment for phpgw.

I have changed the CC list for this thread, bkuhn has advised that
"(system-hackers is a deprecated list that includes mostly people who
don't work doing stuff for FSF anymore)."

Cheers

Dave
