Re: Need german speaker to check translation of CLOWN info.
Hi John,
I reviewed your translation. Basically it is ok althogh at several
places I would have used different english wording, but you should

The Kernel:
The kernel used is 2.0.36 with "loop-root-patch", since 2.1
(development-) kernel doesn't provide stability which is required
in a professional environment.
Due to better networking performance it would however be wishful to
switch to a 2.1 or even 2.2 kernel.
