We have just released the initial public Beta version of ACC V2.1 (2.050), which is now available for download as a software appliance ISO.

This page will also direct you to other resources including the preliminary release notes, hardware requirements, a quickstart guide, the KIL and HCL. If this is too much detail and you just want to get to the ISO you can grab your free copy here:

[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2]Now, that you are aware of where and how to get your hands on the Beta, we'd like to w[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2]elcome you to the Astaro Command Center V2.1 BETA challenge. Similar to the previous ACC and AxG BETA challenges, we want to give you some incentive to install, test and use the ACC V2.1 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.

[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][2.050] core daemon should really take more of a beating[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1]
[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1]
Hardware : P4 3 GHz, 1024 MB RAM, 40 GB HDD
Devices : 23 devices, 2 Mbit / 192 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.

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:[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2]

[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2]When the Beta phase ends, the three top UBB bug reporters will receive Amazon Gift cards. 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.
Have fun and thanks for your participation!
Cheers,
Henning
