We had another tight place in days after 4.3-RELEASE: Auto-negotiated half-duplex from server to switch :-) and there were some configuration issues on TEN site.

Any reasonable upper limit on disk space (with seldom updates) would be great thing. We can have almost as much disk space as we need. However, we need to plan this disk space demand sufficiently in time (on order of months up to one year) to accomplish necessary steps. -- Rudolf Cejka (cejkar@dcse.fee.vutbr.cz; http://www.fee.vutbr.cz/~cejkar) Brno University of Technology, Faculty of El.
