Hi,

If all goes well I can install BBB on adele, good idea. I like the to be
able to practice it on a non-production machine first. And yes, I heard
it's better to install it on bare metal than on a virtual server, hence
the idea for installing it on jean. It has to do with the real time
clock, hardware clock I believe.
