First, no one is intentionally being excluded, although I will admit there are days when it is tempting!!!

I'll see if we can get some consistency in our 'news'. Yes, we should be covering all the bases. Warning: Public relations isn't exactly one of my strong points.

A little clarification....the fact that we booted is not a big deal (as you rightly point out) but building the kit from scratch is huge. I realize that may be difficult to understand but what we sent to the HP Team in India six years ago isn't exactly what we got back a few months ago. Their processes and environment are different than ours were in ZK. They created what they needed as would have any group. We had to figure out how they worked and recreate what we once knew. They helped us, of course, but it was still an enormous job just for us to get back into our own dev and especially test environments and build anything at all, let alone the complete installation kit which has many wrinkles in addition to the base operating system. At least for us internally, it was indeed and a significant milestone.
