[sudo-discuss] YaCy in sudo room: I am inclined to set it up

[Anon195714]

Thanks, and a) it's true, and b) I just pulled an allnighter to reply to
an RFP for a 100-station PBX to be installed in July, c) my brain was
already mushed last night, and d) as a result of b + c I'm loopy as hell
right now;-) and about to get 4 hours sleep before heading back to
client site in SF to work on their PBX toward their move next week which
has to be absolutely seamless. 

Which is also why I'm highly skeptical of people who say they want to
run a telco/ISP on volunteer labor, but that's another topic (or dead
horse;-) for another day.
