Some very nice developments in the works!  All really good ideas
that I wish I'd thought of.

I'll ask the same question of this one:  I know you're developing an
appliance, but will it support updating the Xastir bits without
having to release another version of the appliance?

I'd _love_ to see the runlevel stuff described above combined with
the VM Lee just did (and Tom tweaked).  That'd be a heck of a nice
system for beginners and for EOC/SAR/Public Event operators.
