 ====== Installing Bacula 5.0.x on Ubuntu Server 9.10 ======
-FIXME this is work in progress! Don't use it yet! FIXME
 As Ubuntu is shipping with Bacula 2.4 and there is no more recent version available in the backports repository, using bacula 5.0.x on Ubuntu 9.10 means compiling it from scratch - this is meant to be a short copy-n-paste instruction on how to do this.
