<p>i believe it's simply insane to require installing collectd,
libvirt, libxen, lvm2, openjdk and entire Gnome in order to use
FreeRADIUS! it's either a very bad joke or someone did a horrible
and absolutely stupid mistake. could you please explain since when
Gnome is required for FreeRADIUS to operate? it's crazy! libvirt
and libxen - you must be joking!? i see Debian slowly but steadily
becomes what RedHat 5 was in years 1997-1999<br>
