 == Q11/ Does mondo work with Debian/Ubuntu distributions? ==
   Yes, your best bet are the official Debian packages. Andree, the Debian maintainer, is usually also on the mailing list. Look at DistributionPackaging
-  If you want to use the packages made upstream for Debian/Ubutu, you need to know that numbering schema are different between upstream mondo (2.x.y) and Debian packages (2.xy),so you should adapt your /etc/apt/preferences file to avoid updates of mondo with apt-get with indeed older versions. Do the following:
-{{{
-$ wget ftp://ftp.mondorescue.org/ubuntu/8.04/mondorescue.sources.list
-$ sudo sh -c "cat mondorescue.sources.list >> /etc/apt/sources.list"
-$ sudo sh -c "cat >> /etc/apt/preferences << EOF
