Welcome to the Astaro Command Center V2 BETA challenge. Similar to the ASG V7.x BETA challenges we want to give you some incentive to install, test and use the ACC V2 BETA version. It is easy to participate in this little contest, plus you will show up on our internal radar and might win some nifty gift certificates [[;)]]
Please report bugs in this forum by opening a new thread. Be sure to include the following pieces of information.

Here is a short example post:

[/SIZE][/FONT][SIZE=1][1.953] core daemon cries when called via "onion" wrapper
Hardware : P4 3 GHz, 1024 MB RAM, 40 GB HDD
Devices : 23 devices, 2 Mbit / 192 Kbit
Users : 03 users, 6 Mbit / 640 Kbit
When I press the "snafu" button exactly three times in a row on sunday afternoons, the core daemon crashes and gets restarted by the selfmon.
Please see this (imaginary) logfile snippet here:[/SIZE]

There will be a point award system and a related high-score list for top UBB bug reporters. The more concise, precise, complete, helpful and useful your bug report, the more points we will award to you. You should at least enumerate your configuration and describe the effect(s) the bug exhibits. By including log file snippets, tcpdumps, screenshots and other helpful items you may earn additional points.
You can report any bug you find, however it must be a "new" bug (one that is NOT already filed in our internal issue tracker). I'll keep track of the found bugs in this posting. Please check the list below before reporting. Also I am the final arbiter in report evaluation. Please do not start discussions about the fairness of the process.
Please note, that reporting dupes will not get you any points. You can view current awards (which doubles as a confirmed issue overview) and a highscore list right here: [/FONT]Current awards and highscore list

When the Beta phase ends, the three top UBB bug reporters will receive Amazon Gift cards, valued EUR 100 each. For non-EU national winners, we'll try to get gift cards in your local currency. Failing that, you'll get a card for amazon.com, in US dollars.
And yes, we'll use current exchange rates, so US participants get extra value for their testing [[;)]]
Have fun and thanks for your participation!
Cheers,
Henning
