[hobbit] moving hobbit from Ubuntu to Debian

[Henrik Stoerner]

One more thing before I go to sleep :-)

Check your hobbitserver.cfg - if you have BBDISP set the same as 
BBSERVERIP. That *is* the default, but you might have changed it.
It should be
   BBDISP="$BBSERVERIP"
in hobbitserver.cfg.


Regards,
Henrik
