abilities (just fired it up on one of my windows nodes), but I can
tell that the windows sysadmins here will be a bit put off by having
to manually make registry entries, and manually edit the xml config
file. (It's one thing for us unix-dudes(or dudettes) to edit hobbit
config items, but I know the windows guys like the gui way. The
(older, yet still mostly functional) BBNT client is quite easy to
install, configure, and run. I'm hoping that's what we ultimately
end up with for the hobbit windows client!

Hi all
I have been asleep for a while, and not monitoring what's been going
on, but can anybody tell me the status of the Windows client?
When I last paid close attention to the list, the client was in
beta, and if I recall, did a pretty OK job. (I installed it on a
test system)
But that was at the old job.
New job, new Hobbit installation, and the Windoze crowd want to see
the client.
What's news?
0.8 has been released :-)
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=597086
I had been very wary of this client until about 10 mins ago when I
installed and configured it and I also must say I'm reasonably
impressed. The migrate from BBNT script had me up and running in about
60 seconds without having to worry about the config file and setting
everything from scartch.
Is there a separate mailing list for the windows client or are we all
putting together here on the hobbit list ?
I have a few more questions and want to make sure they are going to
the right place :)
Cheers
Allan
