I dont find it easy to understand. But maybe I've been looking at the
wrong HowTo's :)
I find Postfix much easier to configure.

That is a reason to keep it.

Something like that, yes, maybe not to a datestring, but to a file that
will go into the normal backup routine
And remember to stop slapd before slapcat is run
and make it easy to include other tasks, such as backup of
postgres/mysql and possibly other tasks.

Me to, but I've never found the time do include it into Skolelinux

I'm not even sure that this is the case anymore ... And I realize that
the line could be misunderstood. the meaning is "A least kdm is not
localized properly, There may be other packages thar ern't localized
properly as well"

The reason for suggesting to drop Emacs, is that I think very few
schools are using it. if someone are using it, I think they can manage
to download it. We have to leave some of the packages out, if we want
to include the other 320 MB that is needed to upgraded an existing
installation.
