==== Review ServerGuide for Intrepid ====

tomcat has also been added based on the work from Koon. sommer asked what the
security question in the installer was exactly doing. No one had a definite
answer.

ACTION: sommer to look into the security updates part of the installer to
figure out what it does exactly and document it

==== nagios3 in main ====

mir to it and get approved
