Hi!
First off, I must say I'm extremely interested in a Bubba server, and the ease of use makes me want to go buy it right now if it weren't for one nagging detail; It doesn't have a Jabber Server installed.
If it could come with the latest and greatest versions of either OpenFire or ejabberd installed, with configuration options for enabling/disabling transports (MSN, ICQ, AOL, Yahoo! gateways), it'd be wonderful.
Potential use cases:
* Send MSN/ICQ/AOL/Yahoo!/XMPP alerts when something isn't quite right
* Store all your conversations/history on a central server somewhere that YOU control
* Automagic OpenID solution
* Your own IM server! (Coolness factor if naught else )
* Lots of other potentially cool stuff...
Well, I hope you'll consider my suggestion. Good luck, and keep up the work.
Regards,
Wert

Jabber (XMPP) server installed by default
We actually have thought about it. And there are indeed some interesting features/extensions that would be nice to have.
But atm it doesn't look like we will be adding it in a default installation. But a Howto on installing it could be a nice thing though .

msx: True, but it doesn't have to come *enabled* by default... The server itself takes up a few megs of disc space, and that's about it.
Apt getting does work, but it's a bit cumbersome, and since the Jabber community recently have come up with quite a few things (Jingle, PEP to mention a few things) that one would love to have, and Debian isn't exactly well-known when it comes to having new fancy stuff... :/
Tor: Ah, I see. Oh well. I can't afford a Bubba quite yet anyhow (poor student and all that), but hopefully my financial situation will have improved around October sometime. Well, thanks for the quick replies, and good luck!
