Great! Nice to see progress. How many Horde apps do you have here,

I'm looking forward to it, as I'm sure many others are as well. :)

SoC is definitely a learning experience - please just keep asking!  
We're here to help you out as much as we can.

Sure thing. If you can post the setup that you're using seperate from  
the whole cd image, it'll be easier for us to download quickly and  
give you feedback/patches.
