Thanks, Diman, for mentioning the article. It was on my long-term agenda of 
things to do (TM). I am the editor of the article and luckily convinced Eric 
and Diman to write and QA it, respectively.

Unfortunately, I have no control about how the articles are distributed, but 
Diman is right: It is in German anyway. If you're interested in an English 
(or Spanish or Portuguese or Polish, for that matter) version, I can just 
recommend to write a short message to the editor-in-chief. For the US Linux 
Pro Magazine that's Joe Casad, Editor-in-Chief, edit () linux-magazine com.
