Please have a look at the machine list at the bottom of http://layer-acht.org/fai/fai-at-debconf5/ and tell me what's missing (especially if machines are missing / not dedicated to us) and which infos I need to add. > With a properly tuned kernel, 2GHz works pretty well for capture too > (kino/dvgrab).

Arg, next problem^Wissue :-) The config is not enough, we need .deb packages :-) Can you build them (until july 1st) or can you give us your configs ? Is 2.6.12 without issues on sarge ?

And please remember: our first and most important goal is not live streaming. It's a nice option. We also need some video editing solution/tools to be able to cut/mix the (pdf) slides into the stream^Wrecording - I dont think html-slides are good for this, what do you think ? > I'll have a cheap Sony camera with me, as well as a FW/USB 60GB > drive-- but we shouldn't need to use the drives sneakernet style.
